I have learned a few things since my last blog entry. I learned that my project does have a purpose. Paracord bracelets can be used to save someone's life. Soldiers can use the bracelets in an emergency situation. If someone is in a place where they can’t climb out of somewhere, or if they can’t necessarily get to a lower spot, the person with the paracord bracelet can easily deploy it, and use it to bring that person back to safety. They can be use to replace shoelaces, string something up in a tree, etc. The paracord I am using can hold up to 550 lbs. I have accomplished a few things, such as, asking students to help me make the bracelets and emaling the CEO of Operation Gratitude. She told me that I was doing a great thing for our soldiers and that made me feel like this project is worth something. It is worth putting a smile on a soldier's face. I have not really faced any challenges this week other than not receiving an email back from Kelly South, who is the lady that runs the paracord portion of Operation Gratitude. I emailed her and asked her if it was ok for me to send half of the bracelets as a fishtail design, and the other half the design they have on their website. My next step of action is to get the students who helped me make the paracord bracelets and have them each write 2-3 letters to be included in the package that I am sending to Operation Gratitude. These letters will basically say how much we appreciate the soldiers and everything they do for our country.
