Reflection on Twitter Expert Connect

For the twitter expert connect, I looked for the people that looked more like they’d be willing to help me, and also those who look like they know about my subject.

I followed these next accounts for my expert connect, Volleyball Coaching, Coaching Volleyball, VB Coaching Wizards, At Home on the Court, JVA, Art of Coaching VB, Penuel Josh Barrina, Volleyball Metrics, Volleyscience, and Volleyball Toolbox. I picked all of these except one because of how their account looks, and how it looked like they knew what they were talking about, and one which I knew as our volleyball coach showed us to him from youtube.

These people relate to my genius hour project as they are coaches, experts, and authors about volleyball, and skills that will help you max out your potential and become a better overall volleyball player. I requested from them their opinion on who some of the better spikers were and which ones they thought were more dominant overall.

The way that I asked my questions were first by introducing myself, and the reason to why I was requiring information about who they think are the best spikers. This information would help me in my Genius Hour project as I had found the stats to prove who was “the better spiker”, but I needed opinion and out of 10 to see who in their opinion was the best.

For a result I wouldn’t say that it was exactly like how I planned. As before I asked the questions they were all very nice, and would consistently respond to my messages but, when it came to my questions only two responded, and one of them just favorited it. Basically all or most followed me back though, and most of their sites have a whole lot of information.

I unfortunately didn’t receive more assistance, barely any of them even responded out of the 10. I did continue the conversation with two of them, as they were sort of ping ponging me back and fourth, telling me to ask one other for more information, but they ended responding to all my questions, which was very helpful towards my Genius Hour.

There many ways in which this process can be used for school work in the future. This gets you information from people who are actually in the field of work, and are the middle of all these things. They know what they’re saying, and this is basically a primary source, as you’re hearing from that person head on. You could use this to gain knowledge from people online, just in case your teacher doesn’t have that much facts on what you’re working on, so you can find a lot more facts than you could from just searching online without knowing for sure if it’s a lie or not.

In conclusion, the twitter expert connect was a good experience as not only do you get to meet people you can also find information that you never knew about, and it’s just generally a good experience overall.

My Dream For my Future After School

    I have many dreams for what I want to become in the future, but if there’s one that I’m really thinking about is to be a mining engineer.

      One reason to why I want to become that just so bad is because, I just love the whole idea of it. I like the fact of finding places that we think will be good places to dig in, and just everything that is involved in the whole thing. I’m fascinated by this, and everytime I think about it, it makes me dream about it.

      Another reason would be that there is a lot of money that comes from this, and that I could greatly help my family financially if I was ever to be needed to, and overall could just let my family have some very fun holidays.

    The last reason would be that I could help my country Burkina Faso, in a lot of things such as gaining all the revenue from the mines that are in Burkina, and not have to share it to other countries, but only do it if we feel like it, or if we make a trade. After that I would help other african countries in also gaining the control over their territory and to get full revenue of their natural resources, just I would’ve done in Burkina.

      My focus is primarly to not be a politician, but to sort of let african countries get control over their lands, and that they can be the ones taking advantage of their natural resources. One more thing, that I think would be great, is that each country gains their own currency, because the CFA system, is really slowing us down, as we’re depending on another country and not only ourselves, but I believe that if given the chance we could be able to walk on our own feet, just as any other country in the world.

Genius Hour Project #1 Reflection

In tech class, we were required to find a project that we liked and that we would like to work on, and to see its impact on the world around us. For this genius the topic I researched, is to clean the streets and to let them become cleaner.

I chose that, as I thought that people would love the idea, as people seem to complain a lot on that Dakar overall is a bit dirty, and that the city would look much better if you there was to have people who actually go out there and work on cleaning the streets each day.

I learned that there was already some people in Senegal already overall who try to clean the city of Dakar but they’re not followed on well, and I also learned a lot of the ways people use to create some non-profit organizations and to make them really successful.

It helped me grow as a person, as it made me think that if a nice city like Dakar could be like this, I was wondering how the cities that are more on the outskirts, of the city and made me feel bad, because the conditions they live in could be much worse.

What I learned helped the world around me atleast, because it would’ve gotten the streets to become much more cleaner, and would help us make people stop complaining about how the streets look.

I think that what i’ll learn in the next Genius Hour, will help the world as I’m trying to let people become aware of the situation the talibes are being put in, and how to help them out of it.

In conclusion, this is what I think of my Genius Hour that I did, and the plan I have for my next genius hour.

Week 6 Commenting Game

For week 6, we commented on others peoples posts, in a game type way. I was able to see a lot of other peoples blogs from around the world, and found out things about people that I don’t know, which is the first step to friendship, getting to know them more. I hope that I can meet more amazing people in the next few weeks, and that my experience only gets better.

My Favorite Places in Dakar

In Dakar I have a lot of favorite places and two of them, is Saly and Saint Louis.

01 This is in Saint Louis and its a very nice hotel. I like Saint Louis, because you can learn so many things from there, and there is so much things to do.

dsc_9286_0 This is Saly, and its a very interesting place to be because, there’s a lot of things that you can do there, and its very fun.

Destiny Servers

I have been in love with this game named Destiny. IT’S AMAZING. It has a lot of things to do and is the only the game that got me interested for so long. I’ve had hard times to play it though because it has really bad servers. I play the game with my modem right next to me, but yet, I still lag. I believe that if Destiny made everybody have their individual internet because right now if somebody has bad internet it will impact your internet to, which is really annoying. I believe that if Bungie were to do this and make that nobody else’s internet impacts you like that everybody can have their own internet to depend on, which means if you have bad internet then you honestly deserve to be reported.

Soccer in Ghana

A couple of weeks ago I went to WAISAL, West African International School Activity League, to play soccer, and it was in Ghana. We played against Lincoln Community School, American International School of Lagos, and American International School of Abuja. We stayed there for four days and we had an awesome time. We unfortunately came third because two of our players didn’t tackle a player who was running straight through the middle. In the end though we, beat Abuja 6-0 and I was able to do a hat trick. We had beaten them 2-0 first game and we then tied with Lincoln and Lagos.  After two days of soccer and the girls winning WAISAL we had a barbecue and a hunted house at LCS that was extremely scary. My hosts were really nice and we had fun at their house. Overall this was an extremely amazing experience.
