Watching

As I began reading the requirements for this assignment, the gears in my brain began to turn and grind over numerous topics and directions in which I could take for this project. By the time I had finished reading the assignment and browsed through several previous students' projects, I had a list a mile long of what I could do. Here are just a few of the ideas I came up with:

1. "How to Be an Olympic Gymnast" - I participated in competitive gymnastics, as well as tumbling and trampoline, for over 18 years while I was growing up. As many athletes do, I too dreamed of competing in the Olympic games. Therefore, I thought about finding out what it took to become an Olympic athlete.
2. "Best Strategies for Playing Softball" - (As you can see I have a love for sports.) My husband plays on our church softball team. The league requires for each team to field three women. A couple of times this season I have had to play (instead of being the official score keeper) in order to field three women. Not having played softball since the age of 5, I thought it would be neat to investigate various strategies and tips to best play softball.
3. "Who's My Family" - My two boys (ages 2 and 6 months) are blessed to still have four great-grandparents still living. Therefore I thought it would be a great idea to create an online scrapbook showcasing their family tree and preserve the memories that our family holds.

As you can tell by the title of the blog, I decided to go with the third choice. I felt that this project, as well as the product I create, would be something that would provide lasting effects on our entire family. I also envision this scrapbook to never be complete, so that we as a family continue to add to it as we gather more genealogy information, as well as journal the memories we make.
