**Note for readers. This post is a sample for my students.**
My initial reaction after 20-Time was introduced was hesitation. The project sounded kind of fun, but I could tell it was going to be a major undertaking. After researching a couple of possible project ideas and settling on learning Spanish, my thoughts have changed from hesitation to excitement. I'm really enjoying it so far, and I've wanted to brush up on my Spanish for a long time.
The most difficult part of the process so far has been creating the timeline. I feel like I don't know enough about how to learn a language to break it down into small steps. The best part of the process so far has been reaching out to my mentors, Mrs. Rives and my daughter Lindsey. Both have already made some great suggestions and seem eager to hep me.

As I proceed through the project, I anticipate some challenges. First, I think that organizing my time will be a challenge. I have 3 jobs and 3 kids, so free time is difficult to come by. Somehow I manage to find time to play stupid games on my phone, so I plan to replace the time I waste doing that with learning Spanish.
I've told my family and some friends about the project. In fact, they helped me pick my topic after I did the brainstorming. When I told my daughters that I was starting the 20-Time Project, the first question they asked me was what I was doing for my project this year. My oldest daughter seems excited to be one of my mentors.
In general, I prefer to work alone as opposed to in a group. This project is far more conducive to working alone. If I worked with a partner or group, we would undoubtedly progress at different paces, making working together difficult.
Overall, I'm excited about 20Time, and I'm looking forward to starting the actual project!
