Entry 3: The Proposal is finished! Now the approval awaits...

     I am so happy to say that I have officially, indefinitely, and independetly chosen a project and wrote my whole proposal on it. To be honest, it has been a work of God. In the beginning of school I never would have thought I would've had an idea and enough details worked out before August 30. I would have probably been even more indecisive and drag my feet in reluctance with the reality that I;n growing up. I know that's probably a little melo-dramatic for Senior Project, but this experience is really revealing things about myself that are not all that pretty! It's hard to put someone who is dependent an indecivisive on many things in a situation in which they have to independently take on a role as a project manager type figure. Although it's not fun, it has to be done I suppose. After all, that's why "Do Hard Things" seemed to be all about! I don't want to give any spoilers about my proposal (because I know you will all be very familiar with it very soon) but I do want to clarify that I have talked with the Headmaster and the Lower School director and I have worked out several details about scheduling my classes with the kids hopefully beginning the 3rd week of September (Lord willing).
     In our Senior Project research days I have been going through several of my mentor's Acting books and I am finding several great ideas that I would like to introduce the kids in my 20-30 minute time frame for class time. I hope the kids will not only enjoy this time, but be able to go home and share with their parents several things they had learned in Drama Class that day. I believe it is very important to integrate fine arts in schools (which happens to be my topic for my research paper!) and I'm very excited to be the one who introduces it to the primary building to really get them excited about using their imagination!
    I was so encouraged because at the parents gathering of meeting Mr. Hinds, apparently one lady asked him about the possibility of having a drama class for the primary school. My mom told me she had 2 children (1st and 2nd grader) and she was interested in introduving them to the arts. If that is not a God thing, then I don't know what is! It's encouraging to know that my project can possibly act as a ministry towards children and their parents. I'm anxiously awaiting the day when we can jump full throttle into our projects, and I know that day will come faster then I think! God is good and if you have any further questions, I hope when you read my proposal they will be answered! However if you do not I am always open for questions!
(Future reference: If I do not respond in 2 or 3 days I PROMISE it is not because I want to ignore you, it is because I still am working out time management and I still have to include blogging in my schedule: I'm trying though! Thanks for everything!)
