I am so proud of #1. He was able to finish his movie in time for the Family Fun Day on Saturday. Except for a little guidance, he did this entire movie on his own, including writing the script! He has come a long way! I see him maturing in so many ways. On Friday he got up and mowed the lawn without being told, came in and showered, and then got to work on his movie. He volunteered at Give 2 the Troops on Thursday, and evidently lifted and moved lots and lots of boxes. Today at church he offered to carry things out for a lady whose hands were full. He certainly is growing into a fine, young man.
Besides all of that...He won second place in the GoScience Essay Contest!!! He was in the 6-8 grade division, so it really was quite an accomplishment. He was in 6 grade. He will receive a plaque and a t-shirt for winning. He had to write a research paper on a scientific experiment that was conducted during the 6th (? I don't remember for certain) Expedition of the International Space Station. This was his first research paper, and did I mention he won second place?
You can also find this movie on YouTube under the heading "We Are 4-H, Past and Present." The girl who did the interviewing is also trying to complete a state project. Her project was to form a blog and have former and current 4-H members to answer questions about what they enjoy(ed) about 4-H. If you are a former 4-Her, even from another state, and you would like to help her reach her goal of 100 bloggers, then go to www.weare4h.blogspot.com and leave her some comments. You should also soon be able to see the entire interviews that they conducted. #1 had to do a lot of editing of interviews in order to lower the time of the video, but we are placing them uncut on her blog.
