20% project

My twenty percent project is to create football gear (mainly shoulder pads and helmets) that are good at keeping players cool. In the month of September I researched whether it would be better to try and make shoulder pads and helmets lighter which would make less work for the player wearing them, or I would try to put some sort of cooling system in the pads. After my research I discovered that it would probably be better to try and put a cooling system in the pads because making them lighter won't necesarilly make you a lot cooler. By the end of October I want to know or at least have a good idea on how the cooling system will work and how I will get them to fit in the pads.

After High School plans

After High School I want to go to college for athletic training, and hopefully play football wherever I go. I want to go to college somewhere like UW or CSU. I want to go to school somewhere, where it feels like home, but at the same time I want to know that I'm not at home. After college I would like to hopefully become an athletic trainer or an assistant athletic trainer so I can hopefully build up to be an athletic trainer. If I go to UW I will use the hathaway scholarship to help me afford schooling and I already have a college fund saved. Hopefully I could get a small football scholarship to help me pay for schooling as well. For a car all I really want is something that is gas and gets good gas mileage. My Grandma bought an old toyota Camry for 3 grand and it got 28 miles to the gallon. Hopefully I could find a deal like that. I would like to live somewhere in Colorado, Wyoming, or possibly South Dakota where I can live in a small town, and not be far away from a camping trip or fishing trip.The prices I saw for rent in Colorado were any where from 325 to 1014 a month. If I were going to live there I would probably try to live in one of the 600-700 dollar apartments because they looked nice and fairly big. I learned that a lot more money goes into college and the begining of your life on your own than I thought. http://www.apartmentsetc.com/searchresult/?Search_Region=Colorado+Springs
