The Genius Project

All about me …

 Hello my name is Keiona Mills ,i am 18 years old born January 11 2000. I attend Cathedral High school i am in grade 12 my plan is to attend college and study ECE. My background is Jamaican ,Canadian and Native. I come from a big family , my mom has 6 kids including me 5 girls 1 boy and my Dad has 8 kids including me. I live at home with my mom and 5 siblings and 3 animals , 2 dogs and 1 wild cat. My favourite things to do is spend time with my friends and family.  My favourite sports to do are swimming and basketball for fun. I enjoy spending time outside on hikes , bike rides and walks . I have been to Disney world twice first time i flew and second time i drove the whole way.  I have lived in hamilton for most of my life in the same house for the longest time .Hamilton is Home

I had to make a  decision on what i would like to learn for my Genius Project, i picked something that has always been a big deal to me .  I’m so ready to graduate high school but not before i learn cursive handwriting. Learning Cursive has always been a goal of mine ever since i turned 16 and had to sign for my health card and could not do my signature .I really hoped that cursive would be taught during my time at elementary but i learned it was no longer part of the learning curriculum. From this Genius project i hope i can write The whole alphabet in cursive and my name properly, at the end i hope i can write everything in cursive. The first steps i am going to take , is learning the alphabet. I will print off and outline of the alphabet in cursive and keep practicing it. I think the most challenging thing is going to be getting used to not lifting my pencils while writing , i will have to get used to letting the pencil flow.

Since my last post i have learned ways that are easiest to complete my goal. Like starting to learn cursive lowercase first then upper case will make writing much easier. I started by practicing my name i did not get a chance to get the printable worksheets so i just looked at the letter and went with it. I can properly write my first and last name in cursive, if only i could re-sign my health card. My next goal is to get those printable worksheets so i can work on the lower case alphabet .
