 Tomorrow, I will begin my work at the SPIRE Institute with Jeff Orloff. I am very excited to begin work although the drive will be a bit of a pain in the neck. I am using this project to work as an intern. SPIRE obviously has a good deal of significance in the athletic field in greater Cleveland, so I hope that it will allow me to gain a wide variety of experiences. Mr. Orloff is also a well connected individual who I hope I can get some valuable insight from. I also hope he can provide me with some new connections which are very important in this field. I feel that furthering my career is one of the best things that can come out of senior projects and I think I have found a great way to do that.

  In the past two days, I have had a lot of opportunities that I've been unique and I've really enjoyed. On Monday morning, there was a whole staff meeting where was able to introduce myself to those of the staff that I didn't get to know which was definitely helpful as I was able to talk to them in a professional setting I also was able to listen into what they were talking relating to the camps that they'll be running over the summer and other things of that sort which is definitely good to hear about how they're going to organize things they also had some exciting news relating to their basketball team where they actually signed two very high-level players from Italy to come play here next year. The bulk of what I've been working on over the past few days has mainly been working on a 7v7 football tournament that SPIRE will be doing for hopefully next year. SPIRE has never been very heavily involved in football, but they're looking to actually grow in that...

 Unfortunately, I was unable to make it to work today as I was feeling pretty under the weather. I think that this second half of the week overall has been pretty productive. Two of the summer interns for the office joined us for the past couple of days, (including a Hawken alum) so I have been getting the chance to know them and show them a little bit about what I have learned and basically just help to get them acclimated. I again got to sit in on (my last round of) department meetings. They were overall filled with a lot of positive news as there has been a lot of growth in the number of campers attending this summer over the past two weeks. I also got to hear about another event that will be coming to SPIRE, which is a national throws championship. This competition will have athletes under 20 come to SPIRE to compete in throwing events such as discus, javelin, and hammer. I also got to see the final product of my photography work as the media team incorporated them into some gr...

 Unfortunately, I was unable to go to work on Friday as Mr. Orloff was out of the office, but in order to make up for time lost, I was able to go to SPIRE on Saturday and recorded some video, and took some pictures of games during the tournament. I actually had a super good time watching some highly touted players from Northeast Ohio. I also honestly got to take some super cool pictures with my dad's nice camera which was great. I also was able to use a new DJI stabilizer with my phone. The stabilizer makes it so that shots that you take with your phone are smooth and look much cleaner than if I was just using my hands. On Tuesday, I got to go sit in on the full-faculty meeting. I have never been to one of these so it actually was beneficial as I was able to learn how these proceedings went and what would be normal for me to expect in the future. Each of the different departments gave reports on their progress of the week, which was mostly positive. SPIRE is also trying to make the...
