My first instinct when learning about the 20% project was that I don't have time to do this. My time is in high demand. The more I contemplated this the more excited I became. I have the same time as any other human on the planet, still 24 hours in a day. I will have to be more exact in how I use that time. So here's to me!!!

| Family History/ Genealogy This was my first inspiration. I have always wanted to do genealogy. Family is very important to me and understanding where I come from and who has contributed to my current well-being is very interesting to me. I know that this is a very knowledge based goal, but the passion to understand will drive the activity. One aspect of this will be to publish the stories told by my grandmother, who lived with me the last 5 months of her life. Questions: Where do I start with my genealogy? Which line is in need to more information? What human resources can I use? What digital tools can I use to help me? What tools can I find/ use at the genealogical library? How can I use census reports to find my ancestors? How do I find out more than birth, marriage, and death dates? How can I best represent the information I find? How can I turn personal information of an ancestor into a format that my children can benefit from? How can I include my children in my search? | Learning to play the Cello My second choice would be to learn to play the cello. All of my children play woodwinds, horns and/ or the piano. I love the cello. I love the feeling cello music creates. It pulls at the heart. My goal would be to learn Twinkle/ Twinkle Little Star Questions: How do I make sound on the cello? How do I hold/ strum a cello? Where can I learn this? Do I need people to teach me? Can I learn from online sources? Where do I find music/ How do I read it? Is cello music a different scale than piano music? How do I tune a cello? How/ where would I perform? |
