LAUNCH

  • I am passionate about life, love, and happiness. Cliche as that might seem, it is the only honest answer. That was an easy answer. The difficult part was finding where to go with this passion. Through discussing this with my peers I found that many had a similar passion to mine, so we teamed up and created some direction. We are going to go on adventures, have new experiences, and document the last three months of our high school experience in a living scrapbook online. Surfing, hikes, "geocatching", frisbee golf, road trips, are just a few of the things we have on the agenda. This represents our passion for life. These adventures will be done and shared with our friends, the relationships we have built in our short four years here that will last a lifetime. Because our time all living together is shrinking everyday we want to make each day count. We want to create memories. This represents our passion for love. And lastly, while adventuring throughout the Central Coast we hope to shed a positive influence on the communities we visit. For example, picking up trash as we walk along the beach or giving out lunches to the homeless in downtown SLO. These are just little easy gestures that we can do that will improve the community. This all put together represents happiness, happiness because we have lived these last months to the fullest.
  • The tools we will mainly count on are collaboration and use of technology. We will need to collaborate in planning these adventures around group members' busy schedules. Also, use of technology will be needed to establish our living scrapbook. Our site of choice will be tumblr, so we can contact other classmates who have used this site to better understand its features.
  • To "feel the awesomeness with no regrets"by June, I will have to create these amazing memories I mentioned earlier. If I can look around me on Graduation day, at all my great friends, and have an endless bank of happy memories with them, I will be content.
  • My group's documentation of our adventures will be what stands out to others. Since it is only a few of us actually going through these experiences, we want to record them through video, pictures, or relevant quotes and songs, so others will have an idea of what we have done. Through our striving to live life to its fullest, we hope others will be inspired and do the same. We will inspire others to go out and do what they have never done and experience what they never have.
  • I will move beyond "What if's" by actually putting dates and times on these adventures, because it is easy to say I want to do this and that, but it is sometimes hard to fit this and that into your schedule.
  • The central group for this project is myself, Kylie Sagisi, Hannah Savaso, Meghan Martella, and Ian Steller. As for experts, we are thinking about trying to contact some of our inspirations from our favorites documentaries, like "The Buried Life", "The Human Experience", and "I Am".
