Everyday Survival

In our last unit in Entrepreneurship, the class we learned about ways to create a good business and what should go into it. I learned that it is the quality of the work not the quantity of work. We had to create a video pitch for our business. My business is called Everyday Survival. In the video pitch, I describe what my business does, who it is meant for, and what can it do for investors. In this business, we also had to create a logo that involves what your business does. My logo shows what Everyday Survival is truly about, it shows what kind of a business we are.

According to the United Nations, SDG which stands for Sustainable Development Goals. According to the UN, SDG 15 intends to Protect, 15 is to “Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.” SDGs are a set of goals that the UN wants to achieve 2030.

Everyday Survival wants to help achieve SDG goal 15. The goal that Everyday Survival will help achieve is: “By 2030, combat desertification, restore degraded land and soil, including land affected by desertification, drought, and floods, and strive to achieve a land-degradation-neutral world.” Everyday Survival will achieve this by enabling our customers to plant trees and plants in the forest once a month during the weekend event. The weekend events that Everyday Survival will hold, will help the customers, with getting skills to survive in the outdoors or urban settings. Doing this will make customers do something that will help the planet, and create a better environment.

Everyday Survival has a partnership with the Forest Preserve District of Cook County in order to achieve the SDG goal 15. We will work together by working with one and another to plant trees. The mission of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County is to restore the land and the forest. With the help of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, we will be able to combine our events and be able to plant more trees.

Overall, I really enjoyed making this project and thinking of a business plan to do. It was more work than I had originally expected. I do feel that I could start this, but I will need some money to start out with. I am confident in making the items more durable in the US.

Naval Manual!

This is the third unit of the term, the class is called endurance. For this AP, we had to create a survival manual based on our last AP. For my AP my manual called Naval Manual will talk about being in the Navy as an Officer. In this AP we had to create our own cover based on the topic of our manual. We then had to write what, we are doing and why we want to do it. We had to write what we have to do in order to achieve this, and why we wanted to do it. In the Lay Of The Land part, we had to describe what exactly we are doing, and any specific about it. After that, we had to create a timeline of important events that had or will occur. Read the manual below to see the rest of my AP and learn why I want to serve my country.

12 hour challenge

In our second unit in a class endurance. For this AP we had to do a 12-hour challenge based on what our mission was for our first ap. I did my 12 hours on a Navy Seal fitness test. I wanted to do this because being a Seal you need to be physically fit in order to do the missions. I wanted to push myself and see what I can do. The fitness test was three workouts; pull-ups which were a min of 8 and max of 20, push-ups which were a min of 42 max of 100, and sit-ups which was a min of 52 and max of 100. I wanted to see how close I can get to maxing out all of them. I really enjoyed doing the workouts and pushing myself. What I could have done better was pushed myself even harder for the push-ups in order to max it out.

This Is Who I Am!

In our first unit in a class endurance. We had to make an autobiography of us when we are in the future. The year is 2050 and I am a Navy Seal Commander. In the chapter, I will talk about how I got to this point in my life. What my life mission was, and how that helped me be able to join the Navy Seals as an Officer. In this unit, we learned about what physical and mental endurance people can have. I really enjoyed thinking about what my future might actually look like, I enjoyed writing the autobiography. I could have written more about the details of what happened in college and thereafter.

Homework

In our last unit in our third term called Systems and models, we learned about I-O Psychology and what it does. One of the major things we learned during Maslow’s Hierarchy which is a five-step pyramid. Physiological needs, Safety needs, Love and belongingness needs, Esteem needs, and Self-actualization needs. For our AP we had to find something in our school and in all schools and write about it whether you agree with it or not. Whether there should be more of it or not. I created my project on homework and why we don't need it. What I could have done better for this project was to interview more people. What I love about this project was learning more about why people like or dislike homework.

Suit

In our third term called Systems and models, we learned about the different ways people can do research. We took an FE to MediaScience where they do research tests based on observation. We looked at what people did for their own research paper. For our AP we had to create our own experiment and write a research paper. My paper will be about why wearing suits make people more confident. What I love about this project was learning more about suits in general. What I could have done better was asking more participants.
