Action: finished revising my essay and did works cited.

Next action: Have more peers read it and make necessary corrections.

How am I doing? It was a lot harder revising my essay because I kept seeing all the mistakes and misplacement of paragraphs. I started thinking it would take me and hour or so, but I kept finding mistakes and it ended up taking 3 hours for the revisions and another hour for the works cited. It drained me and I fell asleep within a minute of lying in my bed.

Action: Had a short middle of the week workout to inspire the recruits a little bit.

Next action: Have recruits do a full fitness test.

How am I doing? The middle of the week exercise worked because I think most of the people slack off during the week and this seemed to get them on track a little more. We didn’t do a fitness test today we simply just got together and played some basketball for about an hour. It was fun because we bet push-ups and laps to whoever lost which made people try harder.

Action: Get the recruits motivated by making the fitness test a competition.

Next action: Have a middle of the week workout day to help improve the recruit fitness.

How am I doing? The recruits are not doing their diet and fitness plans and it shows up in their scores because they aren’t improving. It is stressful because I want to help them out but they won’t put the work in to help themselves. Me and Sgt. Say decided to make it a competition and reward the highest scores with t-shirts and other accessories plus the winner can pick which sport everyone plays.

Action: I finished my rough draft.

Next action: Revise my essay and make correction and add more research.

How am I doing? I finished another 4 pages in my rough draft which took a lot of time. I worked continuously for 4 hours and I am satisfied with this being my rough draft. I feel that I need it to be longer and organized better but I will ask my friends to read over and put answers to questions they have into my essay.

Action: did 2 pages of rough draft.

Next action: Finish rough draft.

How am I doing? The 2 pages today came pretty easy to me because I knew what I wanted to write and I had all my research done. A hard part about it is that sometimes I mess up once then I reread and end up erasing a whole part of the paragraph because it sounds bad. It is very challenging to write this a whole because after I did the 2 pages I felt accomplished but then realized I had way more to go.

Actions: We are going to have a group meeting and take down weight.

Next action: set goals for each person whether it is weight loss or doing better on fitness test.

How am I doing? Me and Sgt. Say took them to Skyline College again to do the fitness test but everyone seemed to still be the same. I didn’t expect that at all because if they are doing their workouts everyday they should show signs of improvement by now but everyone was still around the same weight and their scores were the same. So after the fitness test we decide we’d have them separate into teams and have relay races to get more cardio in.

Actions: group meeting/ workout and take weight down.

Next action: keep checking up on them and keep them interested.

How am I doing? Today was the second time I seen them and we had the meeting and height and weight charts. As I already knew it would be a slow but steady process so there weren’t any drastic changes in anybody in that category. When we did the fitness test there wasn’t much change in anything but push-ups in a few people and that was even small. After the fitness test we played ultimate frisby and everybody had fun and it made me feel like I am now friends with everyone.
