"Work in Progress." That's the title of the health project B is working on. It's due Monday. For the project he has to visually present information that depicts him. He has to name three character traits (caring, serious and respectful); values (education, friendship and ambition); successes (eighth-grade graduation, Virtual Classroom awards and confirmation); short-term goals (finish summer school, join an extracurricular activity and read five books this summer): long-term goals (graduate college, find a good job he enjoys and be financially secure); and three people who influence him (me, Andy and E). That's a lot of info on one board, but he has it laid out pretty well. I haven't used my Cricut much for scrapbooking but it sure does come in handy for school projects. His title is "work in progress" because as a teen, he is still a work in progress.
E and I spent this morning at the Farmers Market selling items in the church youth group's bake sale. One man bought a $1 bag of cookies, gave us $10 and told us to keep the change. One woman asked why the kids are going to Canada when they could do mission work in Chicago. Fortunately, our youth minister was working with us and said it's easier to get the teens excited about going to Canada than it is taking them to the Austin Neighborhood. Then, of course, E's friend A drops by and tells us that she could bake items cheaper than we were selling them. Well of course she could. It's a bake sale. We're trying to raise money, not just doing the baking for you. In all the kids raised $400 for their trip!
