Blog Post #4:Time for Action

My genius project has very difficult to get caught up with because of my busy schedule. I have made a plan for myself for over expeditions. I think my best moment of success of my genius project was that I finished a list of all the books that are going to do for the countdown. My biggest struggle was finding time to do my genius project because I have other projects too. In my midway plan, I want to complete a lot of my presentations for the book countdown during expeditions. I have a lot of work to do but I know that I can do it.

Blog Post #3: The Trip of Knowledge

This past Thursday and Friday, I went on a trip to see the different colleges in the Bay area. We visited the campus of Berkeley and visited some student groups. I talked with the Liberty for North Korea group and the Improve for Charity group. The Liberty of North Korea fund raises money to get refugees out of North Korea. The Improve for Charity creates comedy skits to fund raises money for other group charities. They donate the money to student group in their campus. They said that when you enter freshmen that you have a lot of off time and that joining a group helps meet new people. I felt very inspired by the Liberty of North Korea club because they have to fund raise over a quarter of a million dollars to save one person. I remember them telling me that over this whole time that this club has been open, they have been able to save one person from North Korea. It must be a struggle to collect all that money for only one person. I felt very inspired that they try their best to save one person. Overall I think that this trip was inspiring and all the groups are all fantastic. That was my experience in the study trip to San Francisco.
