My name is William Olson. I enjoy learning about math, physics, and areas in science like biology. I also enjoy helping those around me in fun ways. By Being the Good, I am finding a connection between the two through goal setting and acting on my commitments to learn and create. In my first immersion this fall, Play-On, I learned coding basics for creating 3D games on Unity software. My goal in that experience was to create a simulation/game which teaches electricity principles in a hands-on way. I was excited to move forward with that! I envisioned many possibilities of how I could work with other students to help people understand resistance, current, voltage, and how they relate to electricity. During that time, I was struggling with goal setting and time management. I lost my drive to do that idea, and at the end of the immersion, I was disappointed that I hadn’t done what I wanted to do. Last week I talked to my advisor about how I am Being the Good. Thanks to some awesome ideas on his part, I realized that it would be cool to pick up this dropped project again. It wouldn’t be doing good in the exact way I expected, but I hope to learn an awesome lesson from this: Reemphasizing commitment in goal setting with my education so that I can create awesome things.
