The next step

So far my senior project is going well. I have gained more experience by doing another CPR class this week. I was sturggling on ideas on what to write my research paper on, but I did find an iteresting topic to write on now with the help of Ms. Zion's suggestions. Thank you Ms. Zion!
 My paper will be on The Good Samaratin Law and how it protects individuals who try to help people who are physically hurt. Another struggle that I have encountered is how to find the time to provide the CPR class to students who want to receive a certification card. This is the Heart Saver CPR and the use of AED class, which takes at least two hours. There is a course fee for this class and this includes the certification card. The class that I have planned to teach is basic CPR and it takes an hour and is a non certification course. Any thoughts on this?
I would like to keep my CPR classes to a maximum of six students.
Oh by the way I have chosen my mentor. She is considered one of the top notch CPR instructors.
CPR saves lives!
 More to come!

My Senior Project Idea

My Senior Project idea is to teach the Oakbrook students basic CPR. First of all, to be able to this, I'm required to be certified instructor. This summer I took an extensive two day course from the American Heart Association, and now I am certified to teach CPR. My certification is good for two years. I'm not quite sure when to teach these classes, but my  goal is to teach the students before spring. I was thinking about teaching the students after school, but my classmates suggested that I should teach it during classes. If I teach the classes during school I will first contact the teachers to let them know that I would be coming in that day to teach. That is my senior project idea. CPR saves lives.
