Thursday

Today we continued our Grad Project Work. I asked you guys to brainstorm challenges you have faced in your time here at TBS. We shared some and helped remind each other about the tough projects, the difficult social situations and some of the academics that made us shudder. In the end, I asked you to pick your 3 biggest challenges. These are the challenges that had the biggest impact on you.

The next step was to write about each of the 3 challenges. This was to be a detailed account of the challenge, followed by why it was challenging and finally how it impacted you. Even though you may still see parts of it as a continuing challenge, you may have learned something about yourself. Or maybe you've learned that this is a challenge you will have to focus on in the years to come. Or maybe the challenge went away on its own, but you still learned about your capability to overcome similar challenges should they arrive.

If you weren't able to finish your detailed reflection on all three challenges, then you must complete that for homework.

Be sure that you're keeping all of your Grad Project work together in a folder--all of this work will help you come up with your final project idea. We will go through this process of remembering, writing, and reflecting on your years at TBS to make sure you come up with a great project that shows how you have changed at TBS. Have faith in the process people!

Also, I've talked to some of you individuals about the work you are missing. Please be sure to get that stuff done. You may have heard that students who are behind on work will not be invited to Physics Day at 6 Flags.
