jameison martin-ogden:What we did over half of the the summer

What we did over half the summer was go on the computer and go to wissahickon park. We talk about what,how,when,were, and things about our city and parks around philly. To me it was a little bit fun about going to the city and park. To me it was a little bit boaring. To me the presenting was ok because I wasnt scared or nothing, it was ok and i think i did good. Also this a fun and cool program to join and also you get paid.

What i think about the program

The program helped me become a better person because i never really thought about helping other people feel comfortable in the community. Now i really care about how other human beings feel .like I never recycled a day in my life now i try my best to recycle everything that should be recycled. Because of this program i know more about the civil war and alot of other thngs.Yes i hated the walks trough the park but im glad i went because i learned alot from it and I also learned how they can fix it. I learned how to use powerpoint and sketch up. powerpoint was fun to do but sketch up i didnt really like it to much but thats only because i didnt really know how to use it.One day we had to get lost and find our way back on our own (that ws fun to do).The scavenger hunt was fun to we had to get to each place that was on the paper before the other groups so that was another thing that i enjoyed.

I think that if this program had paid a little bit more it would have been better. Binta was always real happy and stuff, so that was kinda annoying, but the people in my group was cool so it was whatever. We had to do a lot of stuff, like a powerpoint presentation and a scavenger hunt, so they did try to keep us busy. At least now it's over so I can chill the rest of the summer. My Sketchup was actually of a bridge for old people, so that they could go through the park. Overall, this whole thing was ard I guess.

I learned about google map and wissahickon park and about powerpoints.

—This park is fun to be in but
—It needs to have benches & restrooms.
—It needs food stops.
—It needs some more people in it.
—It needs some more trash cans in it.

I learned how to use powerpoint.

this help me get read for real job.
what i will miss is my friends and binta.

What I Thought About The Program.

During the program I have had fun. I had the expierience of going into the Wissahickon Park even though it was tiring. We gave our different suggestions about howe we could improve the park for people of all ages and disabilities. I also enjoyed using Google SketchUp and working on the computer. I believe that my powerpoint was a success. Even though i am a bit nervous about presenting it will be good. For the first time I've really gotten into blogging. I will miss my group members some. Also Binta has done a good job with us while we got on her nerves. Lastly, I liked getting paid.
Today we rated all of the other group's blogs. We also started to work on our final group presentation that we have to present on Friday.

What i like about the program!!

The thing i like about the program is just going to places and around Temple and going around the city and learning about our city. Also i like the fact that I learned how to use power point better, also I like getting paid.

KinG Mj's Final Thoughts

This program was not exactly fun. We had to do way too much walking and writing, so it wasn't really a job, more like school. I only came because i got paid every day, real rap. But still though, I did get to do some stuff that was interesting I guess, even though I can't think of them right now, so it's all good.

Donte Hall

During this program i liked the fact that we got to work on the computers and i learned how to make a powerpoint. I also liked going to the park and i liked when we went to city hall. i will miss getting on the computers everyday.

i was nervous at first but i become more comfortable while presenting.

Today we had to do some more of that power point stuff.
we had to look for pictures for our documents.
we gad to write a 3 prargragh essay.
at first i was nervous because i thought i was gonna have to present in front of a whole lot of people but i only had to do it in front of my group. so that turned out real good!

Practice Presentation Day (8/6/09]

Today we presented our presentation about how we would improve the Wissahickon park. I think that my presentation went pretty well. We also worked on our papers (I didnt finish mine yet]. I completed my essay and the pictures with description on it. We were in the computer lab in room 9 all day.

August 6

Today we had to finish our powerpoimts and present.We also had to work on our essay and add extra stuff on it. Today when i presented i was comfotable speaking in front of my group.We had real fun!!!!

KinG Mj's Thoughts

Today they made us present our Powerpoints in front of the people in our group. I didn't really want to but since we had to I did. It wasn't that hard because I had most of my stuff done, but it was kind of an interesting experience.

I think that the ice cream party was fun.
I feel nervous about presenting but i am done.

Jameison Martin

Today I went over what we did from the first day till this very day. Also we work on our power point. We stayed in for lunch and played games. And last we got finished our projects.

Thoughts on the powerpoint.

On Friday Laura bought in ice cream(but I didnt have any). We went into the next room and watched Transformers 3. The movie was good even though I've seen it four times.
This week we are working on presenting our powerpoints. My powerpoint is based on the Wissahickon Park and what I could do to improve it. I would like to make the park better for people of all ages and disabilities. Im a bit nervous about presenting my powerpoint because im not used to talking in front of large groups of people.

My thoughts about the park & presentation

The walk through the park was tiring because it was a really long walk.
I didnt like the walk through the park but i did learn some interesting things like why certain things are in the park.
The presentation that we have to do i'm kind of nervous about that.
I think i will do good though.
I'm nervous and happy at the same time because doing the presentation will help me in the long run when im able to get a real job.

MJ's Thoughts

On Friday we had to come into work, but we didn't do anything. We just sat around and ate ice cream and watched bootleg Transformers 2. I had already seen the movie, but it was whatever I didn't care. Then, the next week we came in we had to present these projects they were making us do for something, so we had to work on them all day everyday this week. It was boring, but we had to do it so I did it.

August 5

I am very appreciative that laura brought ice cream for us even though i didnt eat any. It was still a good day because we didnt have to do any work and we got to watch transformers. Tomorrow we have to present our powerpoint. I am not nervous but I hope they like what I have done.

Today A young man named Mike showed and told us workers about accessible in the city
also pictuers around the city on people how have a disables. also he talk about wheelchairs accessible. we also had to do a power point up for tomorrow.

today we talked about wheelchairs. The man was funny and we learned alot. tommorrow we got to do a slideshow. i am very nervous.

August 4th

Today some man came in and we had to watch his slideshow. Tommorrow we gotta present our own slideshow about our trips to fairmount park. The mans presentation was about wheelchair accesibility and other intresting things. I liked the slideshow because he was funny and I learned new things

August 4, 2009

Today Mike came in and showed us a presentation about how we could make park places more wheelchair accessible. Later on at break, Donte and Karaun had fun throwing acorns at the squirrel which got pretty mad. It was kind of fun when they started running. We also had to make a powerpoint for our practice presentation for tomorrow. My powerpoint is about how the places in the Wissahickon park should be more wheelchair accessible.

Matt Johnson

Today we had to listen to a man who came in and talked about wheelchair accessibility. He had some interesting things to say, and he went through alot of the history of how disabled people were treated bad in America, especially in Philadelphia. He was basically doing a sample presentation for us because we have to do one like that as well. Ours has to be about the park and the things that we have seen that we feel we can improve.I don't really want to do it, but we have to do it for the job so i guess I'll just get it done.
