Passion Project Update

I have a good idea on what I want to do so far, I have down goals that I want to achieve. I don't think I'm as far a long as I could be mostly because I can't fit in the time. With soccer, cheer, NCL , work, College,friends and homework, I can barely find time to take a shower. I'm always stressed out and can't seem to get any sleep, so the last thing on my mind is my passion project
I feel like my heart is in it, it's just about making the time to do it. I have a really hard time with procrastinating and it's become controlling over my work ethic. I think I'll need to motivate myself and get organized. I am pleased with the ideas that I've come up with I just think if I had more time I could easily be farther along in my project.
I think I could just make my newspaper a once every 2 weeks thing so that I have plenty of time to do it. I would say both inwardly and outwardly because I complain and get stressed, and when I get stressed I lose motivation. I like that I have a lot of time to work on it but I don't like how I don't use the time the best I could be.

Passion Project

    "Create a passion project"  well to have a passion project you have to be passionate about something. Let's just say I have a passion for spreading news, so what better thing to do for my passion project then to start Prince of Peace's VERY FIRST newspaper.
    I have many goals, ideas, and plans  for this new project. I hope to start as a very small group of hardworking people, to hopefully a large group of people. I'm going to start by asking around for help to start my newspaper and we could work during lunch.
    I was thinking that we could start out as just doing a one page spread for a couple months until we came up with a regular system.
    I really hope that I could start this group and have it carry-on even when I graduate.

Tip Toe Through Disaster

    Even though my story has nothing to do with balloons or 1986 my story is still pretty horrible.My sophomore year of high school I participated in performing arts and we had to do an act for the gong show. My friends in class weren't very excited given we didn't have any cool ideas or talents, so we sat down and tried to brainstorm ideas. Me, being the idiot that I am. Suggested we do something scary to freak everyone out so I suggested we play this eerie and creepy song called "Tip Toe Through The Tulips" by Tiny Tim.
     This song is in a terribly scary horror movie so I automatically thought that everyone would be scared if we played the song and came down through the aisles and scared people. Well, let's just say no one could think of any better ideas so we took my idea and ran. 
    The night of the gong show we were all so excited because we were for sure our act was going to be spot on. 
    When it finally came our time to go, the lights went completely off and then the music started to play, I could hear whispers of people saying "what in the world?". I started laughing because I realized this was probably the dumbest idea I've ever come up with. So, I ran right out the back door so that I could laugh and not break down in front of everyone. 
    If you couldn't have guessed absolutely no one was freaked out in the slightest and everyone was trying to figure out what freaks decided to run down the aisles of a dark auditorium while scary music was playing in the background. 
    To this day when people ask me if it was my friends and I, I simply deny and act like I don't know what they're talking about. I guess my secret is out ;)
