===** first day of school ** ... well school started and my first class was senior thesis with Mrs. Ward. I was so excited about the class, I had been thinking about my project most of the summer. The topic that I was going to choose was how sex sells in the fashion industry, but then I figured that, that topic was not going to come through for me. Then when I we got in class and Mrs. Ward explained how the project worked. So I thought about how to raise money for HIV/AIDS because my mom was on a HIV/AIDS foundation and kept telling me how many teens lived with HIV/AIDS in America. ===

=== Starting the process... well it was the 2nd week of school the class was starting the process of researching our projects and making our wikis. I had made up my mind and was committed to what I was going to do. I thought long and hard about what how to raise money, until Mrs. Ward stated that we could not do a fundraiser. I felt that all my plans where just a waste of time. But then Mrs. Ward & Dr.V came up with a great idea to do any AID/HIV day. The felt so much better when, they gave that idea. The plan is was to make AIDS ribbons, papers with facts about AIDS and some announcements on what the virus is to inform my peers. Well the process of my project was now in play. ===

=== Finally found a video… so today I went on you tube and founded this really cool video of some facts about teen that get infected with HIV. I thought it was I a little bit depressing because of the song choice that the artists choose was slow a sad. But the video had a brunch of great facts that I could use. As for the rest of the class period im going to try and find some more and continue doing my annotated bibliography. ===

Here we go … ** hello sorry I have not written in a while but I have been trying to figure out what I’m going to do for my first research product. Well I have finally figured out what I’m going to do it an Animoto. Then for my second one I’m not so sure yet! ** - ** ♥S.Y.J ** === The start of to all … so today I went with my mom to BaBshi an AIDS/HIV foundation that my works at. She asked one of her friends could I volunteer there for my project they said sure. Miss. Welback showed my around and told me what they did around the office. She said that they talk to women; children and men at have HIV or the ones who already have AIDS. She showed the numbers of how many people in the world have the virus and the ways that they could it the virus! When I saw all the ones who die & are slowly dying it made me feel sad. I knew from that moment on I had to continue with the project to inform others on how this virus was affecting America. ===

=== Re thinking this… I know that it’s getting closer to the end of this semester but I’m really thinking this project topic over. There since my mom took me to BaBshi I started to feel that this topic was over whelming. I feel that this topic I chose is not really me it’s too sad and I’m not a sad person. I know in reality that it’s too late to chance my topic. So I must find a way to since some light on this topic of mines. ===

A LONG ROAD AHEAD…. WELL MY MOM BROUGHT MY TO BABSHI AFTER CHRUCH ONE DAY SO I COULD GET STARTED ON THIS HANDS ON PART OF MY PROJECT. I STARTED OFF JUST TAKING CALLS IN THE OFFICE. IT WAS PRETTY BORDING SO I JUST STAYED THERE FOR AN HOUR. (1HR.)

=== HERE WE GO AGING…. WELL IM GETTIMG CLOSER TO MY PRESENTATION DAY. W.ICH IS JAN.11. OMG I KNOW THAT RIGHT AROUND THE CONCER. SO SINCE I DIDN’T DO MY AIDS DAY BEFORE BREAK I HAVE TO CHOSSE ANOTHER ROUTE. MAN IN A WAY IM HAPPY THAT THIS IS ALMOST OVER. BUT IN A WAY I STILL AM SACERD AS I DON’T KNOW WHAT ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING. THE LAST TIME I WROTE TO YOU I WAS JUST ANSWERING PHONE CALLS AT BABSHI. WELL I MOPVED WAYYY UP FROM THAT. I ACTUALLY GOT TO GO ON AIDS WALK WITH MY MOM AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE FROM BABSHI (3 HRS).
