I am done with my summer youth project and let's just say it was a great project. I had a lot of stressful times because of my lack of confidence and also having a lot of anxiety, even though it was hard for a grade 8 like me I can tell you everything I did was worth it. I might've complained a lot about how I thought I regret doing a summer youth project, well... To be honest I don't regret. It was a life experience for me and I am thankful I did it. I just wanted to thank Randy for always putting up with my complaints and for helping me throughout my project. I also wanted to thank Lan for persuading me to do this project and for encouraging me with kind words. And finally I want to thank everyone for participating in my Teen a Depression workshop! Once again I am done with my summer youth project so goodbye and thanks for reading my reflection blog! :))))
After my project it was really fun but my only mistakes were not capturing the audiences behaviours, establishing a serious atmosphere with a serious tone, and a little bit of planning and timing but throughout the project it was good. Everything I did was a success so hopefully next week will be good.
My heart is racing of fear because it is almost the day to present my project. I don't even know if it was worth doing this project, I didn't feel like it was fun but more tiring. Though week 4 was successful but in my heart I feel disappointed, not because of how my project turned out but how I can't be confident with myself. When I was a kid I had all the confidence and pride for myself but when I started growing up I lost all of that and became self-conscious for myself. When Lan asked me, "what was the most important thing I learned throughout my project." I couldn't answer because I did not know what was the most important thing I learned. Everything that I did was important to me and the fact that I couldn't answer such a simple question was humiliating. Now I'm just laying on my bed and thinking about how am I going to do my project without hesitating but I also want to think about how I can answer Lan question. I know I put a lot of pressure on myself but that's because I don't want to let my work go to waste. To be honest doing projects like this makes me worry, I didn't want to do a project at all but I didn't want to disappoint everyone that believed me and I want to yell at them and myself for putting myself in a stressful place. But... I know I can do this, whether I make mistakes or not no one will judge. That's what Randy would always tell me. Hah! I feel bad for always asking help from him but I'm just a kid so I need a lot of help :3 I'm thankful for everyone that tried to help me with my project even though it's the most annoying project I ever done in my life let's say I actually had some good times with it. Uh I think hah.
I feel like I am so close to being done, but I also feel like I'm missing a lot of things, which is the talking therapy, medication, and suicidal part. I am waiting for this nurse to give me the information to turn them into activities and it's making me really nervous because if I don't have the information early then I would be a bit more worried for my project. I know my project will be successful though I just have to have confidence but only if having confidence were that simple.... Anyways I have finished everything except those three things. I better keep going!
Week 2 is finished and I am close to being done my project, I thought of changing my Prezi into activities, I phoned a nurse for some help in information, I got a some people planning to go to my workshop, and I got a friend to help volunteer for my workshop. I'm starting off really well but I just don't feel so joyful because the more I think about how many people will be at my workshop the more afraid I get. Hopefully I get pasted this fear I have. I still need to make a sign up sheet and I still need the email from the nurse I phoned. I still got a long way to go I think.
Throughout week 1 was somewhat successful, I finished my Prezi project but I still need a bit more research..... I think....
I asked Kelly for a room to borrow, I also was planning to phone and make an appointment with a Youth Clinic with Randy because I need someone who can help me with presenting my project and give me info about teenagers experiences. Summer Youth Project will frustrate me a bit because I feel pressured and I feel nervous, but I really hope this project will succeed. 🙂🎉 |
