What I did during class 4/30/07

Basically I did an interest inventory paper that consisted of 25 questions asking what i'm interested in and how it can help me for my graduatation project.

I am happy to say though that these questions has helped me even more with my interest in my graduation project because it gave me an even broader range of thought on how I can go about and do my graduation project.

Also my assignment is completed both 25 questions and picking 10 questions.

Monday April 30th

So today starts off a new week and since over the weekend and reading your comments, I think your idea about organizing sports keeping kids off the streets is a great sub topic to add to my project.

I'm still in the process of thinking of different ways to incorporate adversity and diversity in it but the NHL does have a diversity program and infact i got a special NHL diversity patch for participating in "Hockey in the Hood"

Yesterday's work

In class yesteday we were asked to fill out questions and topic starters to help us get ideas for a possible graduation project, what my main focus was on for the majority of my interests was hockey and as you can see in my previous post, I was able to discover a possible graduation project.

The project is basically coaching and teaching kids about hockey along with maturity and as the further details are given in the previous post; you will see what my thoughts are on it.

Finally I am happy to say i was able to successfully complete, fill out, and upload my topic starter for graduation project.

Kory' grad project

So for my idea of doing the graduation project is to coach hockey to younger kids. I wanted to do this topic because I want to get kids my age to get more involved with the community and basically what I'm hoping to do is to work in a group called "Hockey in the Hood". Hockey in the Hood is ice time sponsered by the Pittsburgh Penguins that allows less fortunate kids or kids who want to play and get expierence along with experience diversity to be able to have a chance to play. The pro's about doing this project is that the ice time is free, it runs almost year round, and most importantly it keeps kids off the streets and developes them into mature young people.

There really isn't a con for this project because just about everything going down to helping kids out and teaching them how to play along with teaching them to be mature and self discipline is something i really want to do my project on. I have actually been with Hockey in the Hood since my freshman year of ice hockey and my coach actually runs it so i can use him as one of my major references.
