resources! resources!

I'm super excited for Personal Project now thanks to my mom who bought me TONS of resources from Singapore. She just went to Singapore and went back with books that will be useful for my PP. excited excited excited! :D

INTRO-- edited.

Creating something new and unique is something I like to do, it is a part of who I am and this is one of those things that I love to do. And sometimes don’t you just wonder what you can do with your ability and favorite things to do? So I’ve decided to do something that will benefit others.

People say that autism is a disability; some other people say that autism is weird and different. To them, autism is a beautiful grace. Even though there are some disabilities included in autism, but some say autism have more IQ than people with no autism. I think they are both kids with disabilities and special abilities. It’s interesting how they have special abilities, which put them as a brighter student than the rest of the students. They might not have the ability to do everything and may have a disability, but they are special.

For my Personal Project, I would like to make character dolls that will help kids with autism develop. I will be designing and creating the dolls and later I will give them to the kids with autism with hope that it will help them grow, develop and make good use of it.

The Area of Interaction I will relate this to is Community and Service. One of the many reasons why is because I want to learn more about this community and help them to develop in such a way that would benefit them at the most.

My plan is to first of all find a society or institution that helps autism kids. After that, I will research about that institution and ask them whether they need help or not. Next, I will be asking some professional at autism kids for advice on how to help the autism kids with toys, and I will also make some other research through other resources. After that, I will start designing the dolls (with characters) and at the same time I will be finding the perfect material for the dolls. After that I will start creating the dolls based on the design with the texture and material. When I’m done creating the dolls, I will give those dolls to the community or group of people that helps autism kids. Which means, missions will be accomplished!

I’ll know that I have succeeded if my dolls help them to increase their abilities to connect with other people and help them to grow their censoring abilities. I’ll know that the dolls help them by asking whether there’s some kind of test and their scores have grown up or stays the same.

FOUND IT! \(´▽`)/

this is such good news! I FOUND MY NOTES! Thank God! fiuh~ now I can relax a bit and work more on my Personal Project. It turns out it fell when I was working on it in the car. Good thing my maid didn't threw it away ._. hahaha! okay, gotta get back to work! bye for now :]

back up back up back up!

okay, I just realize that I lost my sticky notes that has my notes on my new goal (edited one) and what to do for the research notes. and...... I panicked and had a little nervous/mental break-down. so this is what I learned today. always, always, always back-up. now, I'm going to try to remember what I wrote there.

okay, now I better look for it again/remember what I wrote there. bye for now!

meeting with PP supervisor

since Ibu Lisa won't be here this friday, we (Malvin, Putri and I) went to see Ibu Lisa during study hall on monday. It turns out I still need to edit my personal project introduction (and i'm still working on that-- wish me luck!). Oh, and our research notes is due this friday! *jeng jeng jeng jeeeeeeeng* and i still have some questions to ask Ibu Lisa, but I can't contact her right now *panic panic panic* oh well, i'll ask her as soon as she got back. i've already got some good websites and one magazine that I think will be pretty useful for my project. though i think i still need to find more primary resources like books or something more useful and reliable (rather than internet). oh wait, i do have resources from books (only 2 though). I need to find moreeeee! gosh, I wish time can slow down a bit so that I can do more more and more research.

wish me luck! :]

Introduction Second (official) Draft

People say that autism is a disability; some other people say that autism is weird and different. To them, autism is grace, a beautiful grace. Even though there are some disabilities included in autism, but some say autism have more IQ than people with no autism. I think they are kids with disabilities, I think they are kids with special abilities.

As we grow up, we start to not pay attention to our community and surroundings; for example, kids with autism. It’s interesting how they have special abilities, which can make them actually a brighter student than the rest of the students. They might not have the ability to do everything and may have a disability, but they are special. Another reason I chose this topic is because creating is just a part of who I am, it is what I love to do and I want to help them to have something to hold on to. Cause often they feel lonely and have no one to turn to.

I would like to make character dolls that will help the autism kids grow their censoring abilities and give them some company, a friend. I will be designing and creating the dolls and later I will give them to the kids with autism with hope that it will help them to grow their censoring abilities and give them some company.

The Area of Interaction I will relate to is Health and Social Education. One of the many reasons is because I will be making dolls with special kinds of fibers, which will help them to grow their censoring abilities. Another reason is because sometimes they feel lonely and they need someone/something to hold on to. This character dolls could help them to be their friend, the one they can hold on to.

My plan is to first of all find a society or institution that helps autism kids. After that, I will research about that institution and ask them whether they need help or not. Next, I will be asking some professional at autism kids for advice on how to help the autism kids with toys, and I will also make some other research through other resources. After that, I will start designing the dolls (with characters) and at the same time I will be finding the perfect material for the dolls. After that I will start creating the dolls based on the design with the texture and material. When I’m done creating the dolls, I will give those dolls to the community or group of people that helps autism kids. Which means, missions will be accomplished!

I’ll know that I have succeeded if my dolls help them to increase their abilities to connect with other people and help them to grow their censoring abilities. I’ll know that the dolls help them by asking whether there’s some kind of test and their scores have grown up or stays the same.

new version of my PP INTRODUCTION

As we grow up, we start to not pay attention to our community and surroundings; for example, autism kids. To me, it’s interesting to see how they act and how they do things. To them it’s normal, but to us they’re different. Another reason is because as a child I like playing with toys and dolls, and also creating them. It is one of my hobbies, something I love to do.

My goal is to make character dolls that will help the autism kids grow their censoring abilities. Health and Social Education is the Area of Interaction my goal will be linked to. One of the many reasons is because I will be making dolls with special kinds of fibers, which will help them to grow their censoring abilities. Another reason is because sometimes they feel lonely; they need something to hold on to. This character dolls could be their “friend”, the one they can hold on to.

My plan is to first of all find a society or institution that helps autism kids. After that, I will research about that institution and ask them whether they need help or not. Next, I will be asking some professional at autism kids for advice on how to help the autism kids with toys, and I will also make some other research through other resources. After that, I will start designing the dolls (with characters) and at the same time I will be finding the perfect material for the dolls.

first week of school ++ holiday :|

through out the holiday i have made a lot of research, i've been trying to post something in this blog but blogger's not cooperating with me-- somehow -_-

so, i've been researching about the general stuff of my topic. such as, the characteristics of autism kids and what we, as the other people in their society can do to help. i've also asked for professional opinions about my topic and now i've got more ideas about how and what i'm going to do for my personal project! :)

i've been meeting with my supervisor twice-- oh wait three times to talk about my personal project. it really helps a lot because our supervisor can actually gives us more ideas and gives us directions.

so far, so good! :)
