Day 2

   Today felt like the actual start of the WISE program. Yesterday was more of an introductory class with AMAZING speeches by Coach Love and Mrs. Stoklosa. They helped a lot with the starting of the class. I met with my mentor, Mrs. Hurst today :). It was fun because we're learning about this class together. We got to know more about each other and so far I think the meetings are going to be really fun. There's a few things that we're not sure of about the mentor reports but we'll figure it out.

   I started to play the guitar in Guitar class today. It was really easy just because I play a little guitar already. The best thing about class today was that we learnt how to read basic music. We learnt how to draw a treble clef on a staff and the G,E, and F note. I really want to learn how to read music because then I could play anything. It was hard for me to focus on reading the notes rather than memorizing the song that we were playing. I kept finding myself losing my place in reading the notes and playing from memory, but I had to keep telling myself to focus on learning the music. The piece was called "Folk Song". It was easy to play but the main point of it, for me, was so that I could learn how to read music starting from the basics. Today I even practiced playing some guitar at home. I learnt how to play a short version of the Harry Potter theme song because my friend mentioned it to me earlier today :P. Overall I had a good day. I learnt more about what I have to do for WISE and I learnt more about my project :).
