If today were the last day of the Purpose Project, I would rate my satisfaction a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10. I would be proud of the work I have done, but I still feel as if I could have done more. I have put in the bare minimum to make this project qualify as “a good one” and often did not get things done on time (but still got them done). I also changed a lot of my original ambitious ideas along the way. My original goal for this project was to spread the message and give yet another voice to this cause. I believe I have succeeded in doing so. Several of the stickers I created have been bought. People put them on their computers or their water bottles, others see them, and therefore I have reached more people in my community. In one of my tweets, I mentioned and eco-friendly company called Boxed Water, and they responded to me. My website serves as a home base for those that I do reach, where they can learn more and even help the cause. My message is being spread even in the smallest of ways which was my overall goal to begin with.

So far, I have completed research in regards to finding statistics about deglaciation. I’m still working on finding out more about the causes of it. Right now my thoughts are how to structure the social media page I plan on making. I will most likely make a Twitter since there’s more of a potential audience on there. I could possibly have a bigger outreach. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate the feasibility of my project a 6. My idea for the project seems simple, but collecting and organizing the information gathered from my research has been a challenge. But I don’t think I’m going to need outside help to make it happen. If i do, I will certainly ask for some. Next, I plan on furthering my research and beginning to put it all together

When I first heard about The Purpose Project, I was really unsure as to if I could be able to do this project to the best of my ability, or find something that I am really passionate about. At first I was considering doing something about Psychology, since that’s the kind of career I am interested in pursuing after high school. But as I started thinking more, I realized I wanted to focus more on something that greatly affects everyone in the world we live in today. I have decided on researching climate change, the long term and short term effects it will have, and to try and raise awareness through social media. Over the past week, I have looked at statistics on climate change, little things we can be doing in our lives to help this problem, and the best methods to raise awareness online. When the seniors who have completed this project in the past came to talk to us, I was surprised by the wide variety of interesting ideas they did for their own purpose projects. It made me feel less concerned over being able to pick a good topic for my own project. I am confident now in my project and I have no doubts about choosing this topic. Climate change is something I am really passionate about and I’m excited to learn more about it through this project.
