The first goal I set to accomplish in this last two-week plan was to Post twice this week, once on Wednesday, post in the same week on Friday. Post valuable information about homelessness around the world, and locally. I successfully posted twice during the two-week plan. Although I met the goal I did not post on the days I said I was going to post on. In the end, I got the goal done. It just took longer to set up the second Instagram post. The first thing I posted on Instagram this week was a post about how covid has affected the homeless population. Later in the week, I posted a poll on my Instagram story asking if people were interested in helping the homeless. Below I will show the stats from the poll. The second goal I set for myself was about growing my Instagram. I am currently sitting at 50 followers on Instagram, My goal is to get to 60+ followers. I wanted to strive and reach 60+ followers on Instagram. Unfortunately, I did not make this goal this week. I tried several times ...

 Global issue Climate change The global rights issue that I feel compelled to learn about is Climate change. I picked climate change as a topic I feel compelled to learn about because I am starting to see the effects humans are having on our climate. Climate change is the noticing of these changes including rising temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and increases in certain types of hazardous weather. The main reason why I picked climate change is from doing research and seeing how much we have affected the earth with our man-made machines. Also drilling all the natural resources from the body of the earth. What compels me to take action on this global issue is how it's affecting the entire world. It is important that we understand how the climate is changing so that we can prepare for the future. Studying the climate helps us predict how much rain the next winter might bring, or how far sea levels will rise due to warmer sea temperatures. Another reason I want to take actio...

  The first goal of my two-week plan was to post once a week every Friday. This goal was successfully achieved. I posted one on the first Friday. The second one was last Friday. Both the posts were highlighting problems going on in the world involving homelessness. Both the posts were very similar, each post highlighted a problem with apartments and landlords kicking people to the street. The first post was about the Mass and Cas situation going on in Boston. The second Instagram post was about Fall River. The same thing is happening, people are out of work because of covid, causing no steady income for them to pay rent. They are taking people's belongings and throwing them on the street leaving them vulnerable. The second goal was "I am currently at 40 followers on my Instagram page. My goal is to get to 50 within my two-week plan." I wanted to reach a new goal of 50 followers. I successfully reached this goal, by reaching out and asking people around the school to follo...

He was asked if he believed he was an entrepreneur, at that point in his life he just wanted to stop the gang violence between the gangs in California. He believes it is easier to start an organization that is non-profit meaning the company doesn't take any of the proceeds. He is an active priest in his community that helps x gang members forget their past and start over. This is similar to my project because he is trying to help the less fortunate. These gang members are born into gangs and have very few options. What are 3 takeaways you have from the podcast?  Explain in detail.  The first thing I took away from this ...

Goal #1  Find 5 organizations to talk about, plug their website find opportunities to participate in. My First Goal was to find homeless organizations in the Worcester area and find valuable information about what they are trying to do to help. I successfully found 5 Homeless organizations. A variety of Homeless shelters, Veteran homes, and Christian non-profit serves. I successfully completed my first goal and found information about each organization. The one I picked that I would be interested in helping is the Catholic charities in Worcester. In the past, I have already helped out with a 5k event they do at the veteran's home. Every year people show up donate money and run a 5k for the Veterans of Worcester. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wrjNQsx8wlX-8YhuL7PH1gapJ7FSZe7zBIjDF0FsZ_0/edit?usp=sharing 5 organizations near me Abby's House (Abby Kelley Foster House, Inc.)- 4.0 rating non-profit organization in Worcester.

Last post of term 1

This lesson has changed my view on failure and success in all aspects of my life. In school, I learned that failure is a good thing, it builds character. It's important to fail because in life everyone will fail. The video taught me that the students who ace every test are not prepared to fail in real life. The most important thing I took away from this lesson was to learn and grow from your failures, don't let the failures change who you are. The advice I would give to someone who thinks they are a failure is to learn why they failed and make it into a positive. I would tell someone who thinks their failure is not the end of the world and think about the bigger picture. What a growth mindset means to me is growing from your failures rather than getting it to change who you are. A growth mindset is, “i ndividuals who believe their talents can be developed through hard work, good strategies, and input from others.” It is an important thing to cultivate because in life you will e...

The organization that I discovered was Waypoint a non-profit in New Hampshire that provides services for homeless youth. The second goal of my two-week plan was " Get to thirty followers by the end of my two-week plan. Evidence, Instagram Page, jankos_innovationsblog." Over the two-week plan, I just reached my goal of thirty followers. At the beginning of the week, I only had fifteen. My Instagram page has grown since last week.   The third goal of my two-week plan was to "find an organization on the internet close by, give them recognition with a post about their organization.
