Entry # 4

I sort of hit a bump a road in my project. I'm trying to come up with different ways of raising enough money to meet my goal, but it's getting a lot harder than i thought. My mom is taking to a reclining station this weekend to see how much cans and bottles I've collected and how much money I have raised so far. I know it won't be a lot, but I'm hoping I will have collected at least $20 worth of cans and bottles (fingers crossed)!! I'm planning to visit Inn Vision soon and let them know about this project and what I'm planning to do, and hopefully they give me permission to take pictures and record videos! If all goes well, I hope to raise $150 by the end of March, since I will also be selling off some of my old clothes in a thrift store and having sort of a bake sale for my family and friends.

Entry #3

I think I have made pretty good progress on my project so far. As of today, I have created a donation jar in the classroom for all who want to help contribute to my project. From the looks of it, there haven't been a crazy amount of donations, but i wasn't really expecting to get too much out of the jar. My main source for raising the money is from bakes sales and recycling cans and bottles. So far, my family has collected over two trash bags filled with bottles and a trash bag filled with cans. I plan on taking these to recycling stations every week or so. My cousins drink a lot of soda so I think I'll be able to make a fair amount of money off these cans and bottles. I hope that with the support of my friends and family members I'll be able to earn at least $75 dollars by this weekend. Below is a picture I took of the bottles that I have collected. This picture signifies the progress I've made so far and the amount of time I've spent on it (I've been saving up bottles for a pretty long time).
