May 28th Service Learning

For service learning we are planing to have a fundraiser to raise money so we can buy school supplies. We are also creating a request from for people to sing that are interested in being a tutor next year. I don' really know what to do for a whole 90 min class. Their is not that many things to do in the tutoring group. we are still not sure on what our plan is for tutoring next year but it is a working progress.

For next year it would be better if we did service learning one a week or twice a month. It would be great if we could leave school to do independent service learning. I think that it would be better to do it all year long instead of at the end of the year.

Job Letter (In place of Motif Essay)

Dear to whom it may concern;


I’m a 16-year-old 10th grader that attends Constitution High School. I will be a member of the first class to graduate from CHS in 2010. During my first two years of high school I have obtained straight A’s and a 4.0 GPA. During my high school time I have taken an AP Biology class, Constitution course, African American course, Spanish I and II. I speak Spanish, French, and English. I’m involved in many school activities such as: Mock Trial, Student Government, Student Judge, Newspaper, and many other activities. I have gone to the “Lawyer For a Day” event, the NALP, The Association for Legal Career Professionals, and many other law based events.

I think I’m the best person for the job. I am a very hard worker and I’m very good at organizing things. I love to help people in need. I am a very detail oriented person. I used to work for my grandfather’s renovation business as his receptionist. I have experience answering phones, taking messages, and record keeping.

I believe that working for Ballard Spahr will be a great learning experience for me. This internship will show me the day-to-day operations of a law firm. I can experience how hard or easy it is to be a lawyer. I have always thought that it was fun to be a lawyer and that it was easy. This experience will help me to figure out if I really want to be a lawyer or not. This can also show me the ups and downs of being a lawyer. This internship can expose me to all types of lawyers. I believe that I learn better when I am experiencing something very important. I have always been told that the lessons that you learn while being a lawyer will help you later on.

May 15

On May 15th we decided to do fundraisers to help buy school supplies. we also decided who was going to help raise money on what days. I'm not really sure if there was any problems going on but from what I saw everything was going smoothly. I have learned that it is not easy coming up with a plan to create a tutoring club in a school and it is not easy do so with a while lot of people. when i went into the group i didn't have a stereotype about anythings so I guess my opinion didn't change at all its still the same. i rally didn't learn anything about myself because i already knew that i work better by myself but other than that i didn't learn anything.
