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.

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 first goal of my two-week plan was " Post at least two times in the two-week span, evidence will be my Instagram post" I successfully reached this goal, I posted twice in the two-week plan, found an organization brought to me by my Innovations teacher Mr. Welty. 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."
