To apply to a college in the US, I can be ready by taking AP courses and extracurricular activities.

By doing this I will have the things that I need for the applications ready for when I apply.
New Questions to research next class

Social Service - CWW
Monday
On Monday I came to school early very exited to start social service. A couple of weeks before I had signed up for Best Buddies with Sarah, Rachel, and Maria. I really wanted to work with the kids and spend time with them. We left the school a little late because the driver did not have the address of the place. On the way there we got lost but finally found our way to the building. We talked to the man in charge of the Best Buddies project and he told us that we were going to do office work. I was very disappointed but we couldn't do anything about it. Sarah, Rachel and I went to organize some pay checks they had to file, some others organized a closet and the rest had nothing to do. They decided to organize some activities to do with the kids and see if they allowed us to work with them. After we ate some food we came back to school and finished organizing the activities.
Tuesday
The next day I got to school exited because they had told us that we could work with the kids that day. However the woman from the school, in charge of coordinating the activities did not approve it. Because of this half of our group stayed behind at school, while the other half went to the same place as the day before. When we got there they told us that we could do the same thing we had done the day before. Maria, Rachel, Mrs. Denise and I went to organize more files. They had a closet full of them and wanted us to organize them all, but we did not have that much time so we just organized the ones of the 2012. after we were done we ate some snacks and came back to school. Once here we went to lunch and came back and talked the rest of the time.
Wednesday/Thursday
I traveled to Medellin to a doctors appointment.
Friday
The last day I was finally able to work with the kids. The experience was unbelievable and amazing. We went to a school called Cepitin. There I met many great kids including; Cindy, Luis Miguel, Sonia, and Miguel Angel. We worked in groups; Maria, Sarah and I tout them how to make paper airplanes. While the rest drew and worked with play dough. It was great. Then we ate some snacks and talked with them. After that Mrs. Denise read a story and we came back to school. Once here Maria and I came back to class and worked on the journals. Then we went home.
I really enjoyed the social service we did. Mostly on Friday because I loved being with the kids and working with them. It really was a fantastic experience.

Design Project Day 2
Drawings
Juanita, Camila and Claudia;
Our drawings were not so detailed and did not explain so well how the game was to be played.
Isabela;
Her drawing showed the stages, and had more details. It had the most strengths.
The changes we are going to make to combine them are very simple. We are just going to change the aim game because we like the one on the other drawings better.

Design Project Day 1
- Isabela Munoz, Claudia Beltran and Camila Villamil are my partners.
- We are making this game for primary school girls and boys. The difficulty level will be medium.
- Things that make a game successful
- Creativity and design (how it looks)
- The prizes you win at the end
- The cost (cheap)
- The topic of the game. What is the goal of the game?
- The type and amt. of advertisement made.
- Difficulty level
- Link 1. I thought that the design and the way it was made was very good. It was good quality and creative. I think that the video could have shown what the game does. In other words the advertisement could have been much better.
- Link 2. I thought that the difficulty level made the game entertaining It was not very hard but it was not easy either. Also there was a variety of games. I think the prizes and what the final goal was, could have been described more. Also the rules of the games like do you have to win one to play the other or not?
- Link 3 I think it was really good. It had decorations, it was very well made and it was interesting. The difficulty level was also medium and I think that was cool. I would show the prizes that you win for getting the ball in each hole.
