Blog Post #3: What were the challenges

What has been a challenge so far?

Challenge #1:

So far I have had a couple challenges. The biggest challenge was probably deciding whether I should change or not from my old idea, which was "Cleaning up the Oceans" and I actually already started my website about it. Then one day when I was working on it, one of my friends told me that cleaning up the oceans is a boring idea and that I won't like it. I thought about it for a couple of minutes and then decided to change to another one of his suggestions, which was making something about tennis since I am good at it. Now I have made an outline for my tennis website, which you can see here. I am happy that I took his recommendation because I can tell that it would be more fun than cleaning up the oceans. I also know a lot more about tennis that about the oceans, so I would have needed to do a lot of research. Another thing is, I would have had to make an essay about cleaning up the oceans, while I can just make videos to teach people about tennis, a lot more fun.

Challenge #2:

Another challenge that I have faced was trying to find time to film my videos to teach people numerous shots. So far I have not overcome this challenge. I will try to film it this weekend, but I doubt that I will have the time to do so, as well as a physical problem. Other than that I am completely finished with the outline of my website.

What have you learned or how have you grown from your experiences from your challenges? 

Overcoming my challenges was an experience in itself. I have realized that I am able to overcome these challenges and that I will manage to overcome many other challenges in the future.

There are a few experiences that I have gained from this project, and many more experiences will probably follow due to the project not being over or finished yet. I have gained a few experiences which I will list now:

My Experiences:

Experience #1:

The moral lesson for my first experience is "Always choose the path that you will like, be proud of in the future, and enjoy the most." - Ayvret

Experience #2:

My second moral lesson for my second experience is "Set aside some time for other things. As well as sometimes you have to take away time from your favorite things that aren't so important and make use of that time for more important things." - Ayvret

If I could go back in time, what advice would I give to myself?

Umm, this is a tricky one,  I would probably tell myself not to start the "Cleaning up the Oceans" project because I think I used a week to start that project. Other than that, I don't think there is anything else.

How do I see my project ending up, and how is it different to my original thoughts?

Well, it's actually quite different because I thought that I was going to end up with a completely different project than that I think I am now. But if I am comparing now to the time when I started my tennis project, I kind of feel that it is going to be similar. The only difference is that I didn't know what my website was going to look like, or the content of it.
