b.  In addition to helpers, you need one or two adults to agree to supervise you, encourage you, and check your progress. Please make sure the supervisor knows that your goal might require daily supervision and progress checks. Explain this assignment to them, and ask them if they would be willing to help you. If yes, please type their name(s) below. Later you will print out your weekly checkpoint page and have your Adult Supervisor sign it.
