Welcome back to my blog! I haven't been blogging since last spring so bear with me on this blogging journey. In case you were wondering where my old posts went, I may or may not have accidentally removed all of my previous posts while trying to revert them to drafts... hah. Anyways, you guys might know that I usually blog about school projects and activities. Well, I'm back again to post about more school related material. This time, I will be posting daily about one of my big final trimester projects. 

Here, at my school, we are doing a Capstone Project. A Capstone Project is basically a 20% Project. In case you were wondering, the 20% Project is a project that is done usually 20% of the school time or, in some cases, work time. For example, we are dedicating a day in every week in our ELA class to do this project. Not only so, it is a project that is suppose to contribute and benefit you and your community in some shape or form. An example of a 20%  Project is starting a gardening blog to help inspire others. Basically, its a project where the student is able to choose a subject to work on that they are personally interested in. Anyways, for my Capstone Project, I am working with a partner, Michelle Chau. We were both interested in stress so we decided to do a project based on student stress. 

Since our project is going to based on students and their stress, who would know better than our school counselor? Our mentor will be Ms. Casteneda, our school counselor, because she interacts with students on a daily basis to help them with their problems such as stress. With her help, we will hopefully have a smooth project with very little problems. If we do encounter problems, in which case we will, we will find ways to fix or deal with them. 


The goal of our project is to inform parents, teachers, students, and whoever else we can reach about student stress. We decided to aware, mainly, parents about what their students might be going through. For example, a student with outstanding grades could be suffering from an illness due to what they are doing to maintain a good grade. Students tend to overwhelm themselves with schoolwork which causes them to become stressed. Though it may seem okay, they are overworking themselves and putting their grades before their own health. If they are receiving too much stress, it could negatively affect their mental and physical health. One other goal for our project is to help students find ways to cope with their stress. Many people have many different ways to cope and we would like to find more ways for people to deal and conquer their stress!

    aAAAaaa, great job Jennifer!! I think this'll be a good project to help others become aware of student stress. Your project description has a lot of the word "stress" so, I don't know. Maybe cut down the use of that word or find a replacement for it?? But really though, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your guys' work. :>>
