1. I am making some progress on my goals, but not nearly as much as I had hoped due to difficulty attending Kopper Top regularly enough to practice the skills I had hoped to obtain. While I feel that I have mastered such skills as leadership, I don’t feel like I have been able to use them much and this really disappointed me. The lesson I can take from not making it out to Kopper Top much, is either I should have had a car on campus or chosen a site more easily accessible without a ride.
2. I don’t feel like my goals have changed much since the beginning of the term, but I do feel that I could rearrange their priority because now my biggest goal is to finish the minimum hours of service for this class, which really disappoints me because I genuinely love working at Kopper Top and it’s given me an opportunity to really step out of my element and excel, but unfortunately my schedule in addition to the lack of rides has crippled my chances to go work.
3. Obviously, as mentioned in the two previous questions I am nowhere near where I would like to be with my service. Ideally, I would like to be well over halfway towards the end goal of hours, that way I might have been able to squeeze in some extra hours. One thing I am pleased about is the dedication I feel towards the organization, because I know that when I do have a car out here next fall, I will be going out there as much as possible and working with the staff and kids.
4. It’s my most important goal to fulfill the hour requirement and I feel partially confident that I’ll be able to complete it but another part of me feels like there’s a strong chance that homework and exams will get the best of me and I’ll have difficulty balancing my time and if this is the case I hope there’s a way for me to still maintain a satisfactory grade in the class considering it wasn’t in my entire control to change this considering I have to respect class hours which conveniently overlap with the ideal afternoon hours to go work at Kopper Top.
5. For the rest of the semester, I plan to control as much as possible with our College Writing class, which means putting forth a much greater effort with my writing assignments in hope of counterbalancing the lack of service I’ve managed.

Service at Kopper Top must be hard without a car because it is so far away. I have a car and take people when I can but it is so hard with everyone's schedules to plan a time when everyone can go for a chunk of time that is worth going for. So many times I feel when we can all go up there isn't anything for us to do or we are not needed. I am going to try and post somewhere the times that I am going so hopefully that will be easier with arranging rides and times to go and maybe we could all find a place that we could put up our schedules so it will be easier for everyone to get rides and finish their hours.
