Getting Feedback from Sharks

Hey guys,

So this week, my class and I created mock "Shark Tank" presentations for our Passion Projects. While one person was presenting, everyone else would listen and ask questions or give feedback to the presenter.
When it was my turn to present, I was a little nervous, but once I started to explain my project, that anxiety went away. When you are passionate about something, you are always excited to talk about it to anyone, anytime.
Through the "Shark Tank" process, my idea of the Genius Time Project has gotten clearer. I still want to make videos about cleanups and trips, but I might be able to expand the idea. Maybe other people could also participate in the cleanup, not just me. As always, more feedback is always welcome:)
By next week, I want to be able to have contacted potential mentors and ask them for assistance. I also want to have researched potential sites for cleanups. I want to start at my "home" lakes and parks. Places where I would normally fish or kayak. I want to start here because they are personal to me. But, I want to map out places past my "home" lakes. Maybe state parks in the mountains or nature preserves. I would like to start planning the longer trips by next week as well. Specifically hiking and camping trips.
I am so excited for this project because it is based on something I love. In science classes, whenever we did a project or report on animals, I was just as excited. I love animals and learning about them. My point is when I can apply an interest into a school project, it is the best of both worlds. I can research something I love, and get a grade for it. But on a serious note, I want this project to be more than just about getting the grade. The funny thing is, I have been talking to my parents about this idea of videoing outdoor trips and cleaning up parks way before this class. When this class was introduced to me, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to explore my environmental interest. I would like to continue videoing cleanups and trips and post them to YouTube even after this project is over.

Have a Great Day. Smile. Compliment someone. And enjoy the beauty of nature.

Sincerely,

Nathan
