J.B. Sutton's Lego team has been doing really well with the presentation and programming with the robot. I'm getting stress out because I feel like we won't meet the standards. We have been able to execute some of the easy mission but we have been having trouble with the harder mission. I wish I could be help them with every little step so we could program it really well. I hope we make it to the finals.

I put a kid that was just messing around in the team to program the other robot. I made the it a challenge that the kid that was messing around would to better than Eduardo and his team at programming a mission. I was shocked because I thought Eduardo was going to win but the kid surprised me because it didn't take him long to figure out how to program and execute the mission. That was a proud day for the team.

The J.B. Sutton Lego Team has been advancing with the robot programming. They have been working on there presentation and I think we will win because it the best idea ever. The team has two robots that they have a competition to see who programs the mission better. It has been a really challenge to complete them because we don't get kit that F.I.R.S.T. Lego League provides which would make it easier for us.

We went to Madison Park School to recruit incoming freshmen for Robotics and Marine Science so we can keep the program up and running. I talk to people but I know I could of done better. I hope many incoming freshmen get interested in F.I.R.S.T. Many people are afraid to send their children to Carl Hayden because it has a bad reputation. We are known as the worst school because a percent of student make it. Their is only two official member that freshmen on the team we need more so Robotics could continue to grow.

 We been having trouble with the robot programming. Sometimes it moves to much ahead and other times it ends up not to far. I am learning as they go because I'm new to this and its really difficult to do this. I image how the 4th and 5th grade feel about this. I hope we get done with the missions on time. We have two robots to see which kid programs the robot better and we will use only one. I hope!

I been helping J.B. Sutton build a robot. Giving the little kids ideas and they have been only focusing on one mission. They almost have it perfect but having trouble getting the mission done. I hope we have enough time for the other missions. The kid that has been surprising me is named Eddie. He has been taking charge of the programming and has been successfully in programming the robot to do the mission. Now we need the other missions.

We watch the movie "Freedom Riders." The movie was excellent reminded me of my past experiences. The students made me realize that my live is really good compare to their lives. Many of them had a challenging live I wish I could help them all. Teachers should be more like her and focus on their kids instead of just teaching them. The kids would want to learn more and do more for the community. Coach Freddi is doing that in Carl Hayden that is why I want to keep learning about Engineering and about politics. He really challenge us to do more even if we live in circumstances that are healthy for us.
