Preparing my WISE project is a handfull, but looking back over the past 16 weeks it's been quite a ride. As I re-visit Ms.Bryant everyday this week to discuss my plans, I feel the end coming up quickly. The other day I went to Kim's for the last time to practice my shin splint taping, and mastered that real quickly. Writing notecards, after notecard looking back on my project I wouldn't of wanted it any other way. I want to give a shoutout to all my true followers, who stuck with me through the thick and thin of my blogging experience! I know that Athletic Training will be a huge part of my future, and I'm so happy and lucky to have started my future endeavours earlier in my life than others. Now all I have to do is plan, and nail my presentation.
Monday 9 AM in K-2 See yaaa there!

One of the last Mentor Meetings:(
About 5 minutes ago I met with Janie B for a good ole' mentor meeting. Today is the last Tuesday of my high school career.....scary I know. Today we sat down and chatted about our weekends because her daughter had a baby! Yes of course I had to look at pictures of that cute little girl!!
Anyways, we ran over my presentation outline and made a more final copy for me to work on later tonight. Ms.Bryant added great detail for me to use, and elaborate on in my project. Although, we still have a lot to talk about and we only brushed over some of the topics on my powerpoint presentation. I promised tomorrow or the next day I will be stopping in, and we will be going over more of the specifics of what I want to include on each slide. I know I don't want to include too much information on each slide, because then it will become boring. Ms.Bryant suggested that having small pieces of relevant information to get the audience hooked is enough, then I will fill in the gaps by talking about the info myself.
Tonight I am evaluating Justin's project and I'm extremely excited to see what he has in store, and to gain ideas from his presentation to use in mine!

Finishing up
Today I have been spending my day dedicated to WISE, nothing can be better! As my due date for documents are approaching, aka tomorrow, I'm finishing up my last touches on my narrative, bibliography, and research commentary. Yes, I am feeling extremely stressed out on getting the e-mails to my evaluators out tomorrow. Yes, I am flipping out about printing my WISE blog filled with wonderful information. So all the your questions are answered, there ya have it.
In other news, Ms.Bryant wasn't at school on Friday so we couldn't have a meeting, but I plan on meeting with her at least twice this week to finish up plans for my presentation. I still have a lot to do, and consult with her, so hopefully she will have great info for me, which I'm sure she will.
Another round of research will be coming later today, and it will most likely be the last! get excited!!!!!!!

Last Class....time is runnin' down
On Tuesday after our day off, I woke up for the last time in my high school for first period.....It was a bittersweet ending to a great year of WISE, but emotions of moving on definitely surrounded all of the students in the class. We discussed the usual topics, deadlines, dates, and so forth. We also talked about the sample presentation that Carrie had completed. My classmates and I provided Ms. G with pro's and con's of the presentation, and compiled a great list. Most of the feedback I had already mentioned in my previous blog post, so I was ahead of the game! We moved on to talking about student evaluators, community evaluators (making sure you have one), and of course the final write-up pieces. For myself, my papers are due on Monday, great timing because its senior skip day...but oh well. I find myself at this point in a scramble, but in the end I will without a doubt pull it off. It was once said, "life without WISE class in the morning is like peanut butter without jelly." JK they didn't say that, I made it up, but what I'm trying to get at is I'm going to miss it!
On another note, I am sorry for the lack of posts this week. It has been filled with the senior week extravaganza's, and tiredness.
On Tuesday I was planning on attending the baseball with Kim, but at the last minute we found it was moved to IC. That was disappointing, but I thought why not just stick with Kim the rest of the day. On Tuesday, it was about 90 degrees outside, and 15 degrees hotter on the turf. In fact, Kim made me check the "real temperature" which indicates the heat increase on a sporting field. She then began to tell me how important it is to know this number, and tend to the athletes if it's a scorching hot day. So that we did, Kim and another helper were filling water bottles, and large amounts of coolers to bring out to the track. As for me, I was busy ripping towels to make cold towels in a cooler, a special treat from Kim to the lacrosse players. We then ventured out to the track and set up a water station filled with gatorade, water coolers, and cold towels. The small amount of runners still competing enjoyed the water and often drenched themselves, bolted back on the track, and continued their workout. The one thing that Kim loves the most about her job, is appreciation, and the lacrosse boys sure gave it to her. The cold towels caught on like rapid fire, and many of the athletes were playing with them on their necks all of practice. "Little things like that, can just make me so happy", Kim expressed to me the factor of athlete appreciation. She also told me the importance of hydration, and especially to maintain a good source of water before, and after athletic play. Small pieces of advice like these, can contribute to so much more in my future, and I truly cherish Kim's words.
