Have you ever started working on your future even though it was far away? My 20% time project is on learning what I want to be? Electrical engineer or be in Business? What CEOs do? The things I enjoyed or what was easy about my 20% time project. I'm also going to mention the things that were hard and what I didn't like about my project.
My main goal of my project was to see what I wanted to be when I get older and what CEOs and Electrical engineers do. I accomplished learning what CEOs do and what Electrical engineers do. CEO stands for chief executive officer which is the highest-ranking person in a company. A CEO's job is to basically run things and make sure the business is going good and everybody is doing their part and has what they need to do their work.
I learned that electrical engineers work on things like phones, computers, cable and etc. Electrical engineers job can be as simple as fixing a power line or figuring out a microchip that goes in a phone. My main conflict was if I wanted to be an electrical engineer or get like a masters in business and become a CEO. I still haven't decided yet what I want to do they both seem interesting and something that I would love to do. Overall I enjoyed doing my project and I learned a lot from.

I started making my poster board and writing my speech for my 20% time. I'm going to present everything I've been working on for 20% time Friday. This is going to be my last post ever.

I went a whole week with doing everything with passion. It was easy ,but fun because I got to do things I love and enjoy more than things I don't like and don't really care for. My next step is to keep it simple ,so that will kind of be hard for me because I like complicated things ,but I'm going to do my best to try and I will update you non how it went next week. I got this from cool article.

I went a whole two weeks with embracing change and I normally don't take that long to do one of my assignment ,but this one was more challenging because i didn't fully understand how to do it and when i found what it means it still was hard to do. Next week I'm going to do everything with passion. I will let you know how it goes.

I went a whole week with responding to everyone. Which that can be difficult if you talk to a bunch of people and if most of them have a question it can be hard to think of an answer for all of them,but then again it can be easy because you can get used to it and learn to get better at it. Next week i will be learning how to embrace change for a whole week. I will update you on how it goes and i got this step from cool article.

I went a whole week with being a team player. It was kind of hard cause i kept forgetting what that meant and what i was suppose to be doing ,but after i remembered what it meant I was able to do a good job I think. My next objective is to respond to everyone ,so i will be doing that to next week starting on Monday. I will update you on how it goes and i got my facts from cool article.

I went a whole week with being honest and transparent. It went great i learned that is not really easy to be honest ,but it is really easy to not be honest. Also being transparent is not as easy as i thought it would be ,but I've been learning to try to be and to remember to be. My new objective for next week is to be a team player ,so i will be doing that for a whole week and i will update you on how it went. I got my next step from cool article.

 I went a whole week with just being myself " the real me" and it was great. I even made some new friends and learned some things about myself I didn't even know. My next step is to be honest and transparent ,so I will be doing that for a whole week and I will update you on how it goes.

 20% Time Project Proposal

Name: Arnazia Brumfield

Project Title: 20%

Project Start Date: November 7, 2014

Project Completion Date: May 15, 2014

Mentor’s Name: Mrs. Browning

Brief Description: I’m doing a project in Language called 20% time and I’m learning on how to be a better leader.

Overview of Project Proposal

1) Project Objective:

            For my 20% time I want to learn how to be a better leader. I will be researching some leaders or leadership type of websites and see if they can give some good advice on how to be a great leader. The outcome of this project is for me to learn how to become a great leader.

2) Project Rationale:

            I’m doing this project because I want to learn how to become a better leader. The job that I want to have in the future involves being a leader. People also look up to leaders and I would like for people to look up to me and for me to be able to help people and inspire them.

3) Project Steps:

            Every week I look on this website that has steps and tips on how to be a better leader and each week I follow a step like my first step was to become a better listener, so for a whole week I just listened. Then the next week I have to do something else.

4) Timeline of Activities:

            First I’m going to have to look up what I need to get better at or learn how to do, so I can become a better leader. Then I have to plan out what day I’m going to start a new step and try to remember which one I’m suppose to do. After that week I will blog how I did that week, what I learned, how I can do it better, and my next step for the next week.

5) Available Human and Material Resources:

            One day while I’m working on this project I will have a meeting with one of my principals and ask them how did they get to the position they are in, if they can give me any tips, how did/do they show leadership, and what is the most important thing to them that a leader can do or show. I also will be reading some books about leaders that my teacher has offered me. I will be using the internet most of the time to be looking for my next step and to post a blog about it.

6) Possible Road Blocks:

            Sometimes I may forget what my step is of the week and not be able to blog about it till the next week. The internet maybe down sometimes. I might run out of steps or I might forget to have a blog for that week. I might lose interest in my subject.

7) Research Questions:

Should I use the same website to get my facts from or should I use one site till it runs out of facts and then use a different one? What day should I start to do the fact like on a Monday or Friday? How long should I do it for a week or two?
