So it's been a while since I have written and thinking about it now, I wish I would've continued writing my blog. Although my 20-time didn't continue in school, I still live with the lessons that the project taught me. This week I had the chance to share my 20-time experience with the Spanish 3 and IB World Lit 1 students.
I still remember sitting in class as a junior, listening to the expert panel, and then venturing into the unknown with the rest of my class. Or in my case, with both of my classes. Sitting on the "expert" panel today was such a crazy experience, a year ago I was the listener and now people are listening to me. Whaaaat? But it felt good to be able to share a part of my journey with the students who will be starting their journey soon. I hope they know that even if they "fail" their goal, they are taking so much more away from this project. It is so different when compared to the typical school day and that's one of the best parts about this project. There is some much that can be done, so many goals to choose from. Even though picking a topic is hard, if you have passion for it you'll be okay. I really would love to be a mentor or a go-to person for any of the students! In a way that would be continuing my 20-time goal: helping others. So Juniors/Spanish 3 Students hmu! ;) I just hope that everyone doing the project has fun with it and takes something away from it. This is a "lifetime". It is so different from traditional schoolwork that it'll stick with you forever! So Good Luck to everyone embarking on their 20-time journey and remember, the best is yet to come!
Much Love,

Blog Final
Hola Amigos,
Estoy un poco triste porque este es mi blog final para veinte-tiempo en Español. Este proyecto fue muy fantástico para mi. Una cosa que es bien es que mi proyecto, Freshman First, va a continuar en el próximo año. Yo tengo muchas memorias con este proyecto. yo recuerde cuando este proyecto comenzado. Yo recuerdo que yo estaba muy confundido porque no tuve un topico. Este proyecto me dio muchas lecciones en mi vida. Cuando yo empiezo este proyecto mi gol fue ayudar la gente en mi escuela con un club de cultura. Pero después de mis visitas a la sala de emergencia yo cambie mi proyecto. Esta decision fue el mejor decision en este proyecto. Yo aprendí que mi vida y salud eran más importante que una club.
Pero el mejor parte de este proyecto es que mi proyecto no termine aquí. Mi proyecto empiezo en el próximo ano cuando los estudiantes del primer ano vengan a mi escuela. Este es muy importante porque yo voy a continuar mi pasion. Este proyecto me ha ayudado a aumentar mi amor por ayudar a los demás. Creo que este proyecto me ha cambiado mucho en muchas formas. Pienso que ahora estoy una persona maturada. Yo encontré muchas personas quien son incredible. Estoy Excitado para este viaje.
Hoy fue mi presentacion final para Espanol 3 y para este proyecto. Yo cambio mi discurso anoche porque hay problemas que yo encontré. Despues de mis cambios yo practicado mucho para este discurso. Yo practicado en mi espejo con mi Powerpoint. Hice cambios de última minuto y esta no es buena para una presentación final. Cuando yo vine a la clase mi clase de espanol yo estaba muy nerviosa. Yo estaba temblando porque este presentación es muy importante para mi nota en este clase y mi GPA.
Cuando yo presentado con mi Powerpoint no hay problemas y en que momento yo no fui nerviosa. En realidad me gusta presentaciones en mis clases. Pienso que yo estaba más nerviosas para esta presentación porque este proyecto fue en espanol. Mis otras presentaciones son más fáciles porque ingles es muy facil y he hablado inglés desde un joven edad. Despues de mi presentacion pienso que yo estaba muy contenta para dos razones. Un razon fue que mi presentacion habia terminado y otra cosa fue que he pensado que mi prsentacion bien.
Una cosa buena fue que hay una persona que vine a nuestra clase y ella vive en España. ¿Es fantastico, no? En totalmente me gusta este proyecto. Pienso que este proyecto obligó a la gente a ampliar sus horizontes y es bien para nosotros. Con este proyecto y encontré muchas nuevas personas que son mis nuevos amigos.
Este proyecto me ayudó con mi aprendizaje independiente porque esto es lo que la universidad será. Siempre es bueno ser independiente en la vida. Creo que algo que siento todo el mundo necesita saber es lo agradecido que estoy por el apoyo de mi familia, amigos y maestros a lo largo de este proyecto. Este proyecto no habría sido donde está sin ellos. Todo el mundo me ayudó cuando yo estaba teniendo problemas y caminó conmigo hacia el éxito. ¡Yo amo a mi familia, amigos y profesores tanto!!!
Con Amor,

Final English Post
THIS. IS. CRAZY.
Today is the last 20-time and I still remember when I started the project. It has been a quite the adventure. I actually learned so many life lessons during this project and I am thankful that. When I started this project I wanted to start a culture club but after many things I had to let go of that idea. During this time I had health problems that made me realize the importance of taking care of myself and the importance of life. Even though I wanted to start a culture club my overall goal was to do something that would help others and create a lasting impact. So when I started a transition program called Freshmen First I knew that I would be able to help others and bring change for the betterment.
I think this project has changed me in so many ways. I have found an even stronger passion in helping others and meeting new people. I met so many wonderful people and I know I'll meet more next year. I am excited to take this journey. The best part is the fact that my project doesn't end. I think this project will be a positive influence on the freshmen, their parents and the mentors. This project creates unity and gives a sense of belonging. Helping others is such as great feeling.
Through this project I learned how to deal with people who have different personalities. I learned that my health and my life are much more important than a project. If it is in my destiny I might fail many times but one day I will succeed. The learning that occurred in this project was hard because at the beginning there was so much freedom and not enough direction. But the best part of this project was the fact that I discovered a new me. I failed many times this year including in this project but I succeeded in other ways. This project taught me that it is okay to not be perfect all the time and sometimes our imperfections are what make us perfect.
I think this project was a failure turned success. I had to start over about two weeks in but everything happens for a reason and this new project is something I fell in love with. Students who will be doing this project next year will have a lot of fun but I can say one thing to them, do something you love. This makes the project so much fun. I think my passion in life is helping others and bringing positive change and this project helped me do that for sure.
This project helped me with my independent learning because this is what college will be like. It is always good to be independent in life. I think something that I feel everyone needs to know is how thankful I am for the support from my family, friends and teachers throughout this project. This project would not have been where it is without them. Everyone helped me when I was having trouble and walked with me to success. I love my family, friends and teachers so much!!!
The best part of this project is the fact that my journey does not end here. I get to continue something I love and hopefully Freshmen First will be here after I leave. Thank you to everyone!
With love,
Vrushangi

Actualización
Hola Amigos,
Hay una semana completa para la escuela. Este año fue muy difícil para mí. Estoy feliz para una cosa ahora, mi proyecto de veinte tiempo va a continuar después de este año Mí gol en este verano es completar mi plan para Freshmen First. ¡¡El año próximo año es mi “senior year” y estoy muy emocionada!! Ayer yo hablé con Sra. Bonotto porque yo pensé que mi presentación final era martes pero mi presentación es lunes. Esta es un razón que estoy nerviosa. Una otra razón es que hay una límite de tiempo y no estoy seguro si puedo hablar para cuarto a cinco minutos. Y tener miedo que cuando hablar en frente de mi clase no voy a hacerlo bien.
Hay una cosa que va a bien. Yo completé mi PowerPoint para este proyecto. Yo completé más rápido de lo que pensaba. Mis fotografías son pistas para mi cuando yo voy a presentar. Pero este proyecto es muy diferente de otras proyecto que he tenido este año. En el proyecto todo el Power Point tiene fotografías y no hay palabras. Pienso que este tipo de presentación es difícil y este es mejor razón porque estoy nerviosa. Es muy importante que yo saco una nota buena en este proyecto y para la nota final en la clase de Español tres. Si no saco una nota bien entonces afectado mi GPA y mi autoestima.
En este proyecto hay muchas cosas que necesito hablar. Pienso que otros estudiantes pueden aprender de mis errores. Mi gol para este presentación es sacar una nota buena y informar mi clase que este proyecto dáme muchas lecciones en mi vida. Estos lecciones son muy importantes.
Yo tengo un idea para la primera reunión de estudiantes que son mentores y freshmen. Los mentores y los freshmen pueden encontrar durante la primera semana de clases en el próximo año. Cuando ellos encontran los mentores pueden introducir entre sí. Ellos pueden hacer “icebreakers” De esta manera el primer encuentro no será incómodo. Los mentores debería tener los freshmen excitados para la nueva escuela y eventos como magazine drive, semana de espíritos, partidos de fútbol americano y el desfile/la danza de Homecoming. Estos eventos son muy largos cuando la escuela comienza y es importante que los freshmen sepan acerca de los eventos. Espero que este plan funciona bien y todos los personas les gustan. Muchas personas especialmente a los padres de los freshmen esperan mucho de mi y este proyecto. Eso es intimidante y emocionante al mismo tiempo para mi.

Flashback to Freshmen Night and More!
Hi everyone,
Yesterday was such a busy day regarding this project and I was a bit overwhelmed but everything worked out fine. There is a famous line in one of my favorite Indian movies and I can really relate to it right now.
"Just like the movies watch, in our lives everything becomes fine till the end.... a happy ending." So I just need to tell myself not to panic and that everything will be okay. This is one of the last times we will be blogging for 20-time and for me it's crazy to think that everything is coming to an end, this project and junior year. Time flies when you are doing something you love and I can proudly say that I fell in love with my 20-time project.
So yesterday I did something crazy. In order to get ready for freshmen night I printed 300 copies of m flyer in color! I'm sure I killed like 40 trees. Just hitting the print button was painful, it felt so weird to do something like this. But I made sure with 5 staff members because no way would I be able to pay $300 for the unauthorized printing.
After school I also went to the Key Club meeting to talk about Freshmen First. I gave them a little synopsis on the program and said that any incoming junior or senior would be welcome. The Key Club board was so nice. They made a separate sign up sheet just for my program. Sadly, I couldn't stay for the whole meeting to see who signed up but I picked up the sheet today and I am really happy with the mentor list.
I arrived at school early because I was speaking to the parents about freshmen night. The teacher that was running the parent portion of the night is one of the best English teachers at Dow and she encouraged me so much before I went on to speak. Even when she introduced me she told the parents that they should be thankful for me and my program and that I was a great student. I was so honored, I have never felt so happy. I have my speech to the parents and at first my voice was shaking but then I looked at my parents. They both had smiling faces and my confidence levels shot up. I finished really strong and the cafeteria roared with applause. I got to spend the rest of the night with the freshmen helping them get around to each of the designated areas. It was a lot of fun!
When I came home my parents told me how many people had come up to them to tell them that my program was great. My parents were so happy and proud. That was a great moment for me. Seeing the glowing faces of all my family members was bigger than an award I could get. I knew they were proud of me, especially after all the struggles. I feel proud even as I write this blog. Failure is the key to success and my failures at the beginning of this project are what brought to one of the most proud moments of my high school career! I can't wait to see where this project takes me.
Now I really have to sit down during the weekend and plan everything in detail. I have a lot of ideas in my head but I actually have to think about an organization system and how I will implement the ideas. This part of the project will be hard. I have to pick the dates and time for the meetings as well as the purpose of each meeting. It is hard to do without the school calendar for next year but I think even if I have tentative dates it is better then having nothing. I also have to prepare and meet with the mentors before the end of this year. So much to do and so little time. I am glad to say that even though the year is coming to an end for school so many new things are beginning. This should be an exciting journey for everyone.
Shout out to the parents and the freshmen! I know coming to high school can be a life changing event for a whole family but I am hoping Freshmen First can relieve the stress a little.

La Noche de "Freshmen"
Hola Amigos,
Estoy muy emocionada ahora porque la noche para los estudiantes de primer año fue muy fantastica. Ayer el dia se fue bien. En mi clase de Español, yo imprimí 300 folletos. Nunca he imprimido asi tantas papels. Despues de la clase, yo fui a la clase de la profesora que me ayudaria en la noche. Yo mostro mis folloetos a ella y ella le gusta. Despues de este yo le di mis folloestos a un miembro de la oficina.
Después de la escuela yo fui a Key Club. Este club es muy bien en mi escuela y todos los estudiantes en este club son buenas personas. Esta programa es muy bien para mi escuela porque habrá más participación de estudiantes.
En la reunion yo vi a muchas personas que yo conzco y las personas que son miembros de NHS. Yo hablé sobre Freshmen First y les dijen que este programa necesita mentores que son buenas personas y bien con los freshmen.
Cuando yo llegué a mi escuela, yo fui a la biblioteca porque después de mi discurso yo tenía que ser voluntaria para NHS y Student Leadership. Yo regresé a la cafeteria y la professora de inglés me dijo que mi discurso sería segundo. En este momento yo estaba nerviosa porque había muchas padres en la cafetería. Pero la profesora de inglés me dijo que yo haria muy bien. Mientras esperaba mi turno para hablar yo estaba temblando. La profesora de inglés me introdujo con palabras amables. Yo di mí discurso en tres minutos y despues todos los padres me aplaudieron. Mis pardes y yo estabámos muy contentos.
En mi clase de inglés yo tenía veinte-tiempo un dia temprano porque mi profesora no estarán la clase en el día normal de veinte-tiempo. Yo vi la lista de los mentores y me gusta mucho. Conzo a que la mayoría de la gente en la lista y ellos son fantásticos. Es el tiempo para la parte dificil. Yo no hago un plan concreto para este programa, yo tengo muchas ideas pero este no es bueno. No es bueno porque nesecsita que yo tengo un plan antes de el fin de año. Ahora mi plan es planear los detallas para mi programa.
Estoy nerviosa porque mi plan es por todo el lugar pero yo sé que yo tengo mucho supportivio de mi familia, mis amigas y mis profesores. Las personas en mi vida son muy importante y las personas han ayudado me son mis inspiraciones.
Con Amor,
Vrushangi

Another Step to my Goal!
Happy Friday Everyone,
Yesterday I had to present my program at both the morning and afternoon NHS meeting and people actually signed up! I can proudly say that I got 29 people on board and I plan on expanding to other organizations like Key Club. I think this is a great start but now I have to do all the detailed planning. Mrs. Hechlik suggested that I make a contract that the mentors have to sign in order to be a part of Freshmen First and I think this is a great idea. It will build more accountability so people don't just blow it off. I also sent the final flyer to Mr. Samocki, another one of my great mentors. After talking all week long I finally have a flyer all set to go. I am really proud of it and I hope the parents like it. This is the flyer I will be giving out when I give my speech at orientation next Thursday! It is crazy to think but I have to print 300 copies!!!
As far as the planning goes for this year I need to have a set plan for the mentors. Mrs. Hechlik also suggested on training the mentors to make it a little easier for everyone. I have so much to do before the end of the school year. My next goal is to have a set plan for all the meetings with the mentors this year as well as the dates for the meetings with the freshmen next year. I also need to find a training method and implement it asap! Another mini goal is to have the contract ready before the meeting with the mentors. I am a little overwhelmed but I know once this is done I won't have much to worry about until August. I would love it if the counselors could set a time during the August Orientation where only freshmen can come. This would be really helpful because I can have the mentors come in on that day and meet with their freshmen and give them a tour with a question and answer session to. I just had another idea regarding the meetings with the freshmen next year, I could possibly set up activities based on the time of the year. For example at the meeting before exams there could be "study stations." I think once I get the mentors together, we can all brainstorm idea.
I am really excited for this program but at the same time I feel a little nervous because things don't always go as planned. This whole program seems really nice and organized in my head and I really hope that once it becomes a reality it stays that way. Of course nothing is ever set in stone but it would be nice if most of my vision came alive. I finally feel so great about 20-time.
Today in Spanish I was introduced to the final assignment regarding 20-time and we have to give a ted talk about our journey and I realized how much I have been through to get to this point. I am excited for the ted talks in Spanish and English because I can talk about all my difficulties as well as what I have achieved. My journal with 20-time so far has been full of ups and downs but I am a strong believer of the saying, "everything happens for a reason" I know I had a rough start but all the hardships have made me appreciate this project even more. I honestly believe I have found more success in the short time that I have spent on Freshmen First then the long hours I spent on my first project. Now that I look back I see a much a different me. I am now someone has not only learned from her hardships and mistakes but also taken those mistakes and turned them into something better.
With Love,
Vrushangi
