Choosing to join is about now. It's not a promise to finish everything. You can start, ask questions, change how you take part, pause, or decide it's not the right time.

Quick check: In your own words, name one thing this program won't do and how you'd pause or leave. If something's unclear, that's on us to explain better. It's not a failed test.

To pause or leave: The process for telling the program still needs confirmation from staff. You can choose to pause or stop now.

Joining doesn't include evaluation, recording, story use, or follow-up. Each of those is its own Yes / No / Not now.

Your decision words. You'll see these same seven choices at the end of every step:

Keep: continue what's useful
Change: adjust your approach
Test again: gather more information
Pause: set it aside for now
Stop: end this activity or direction
Another direction: turn toward something else
Keep looking: leave the question open

"I'll watch first and decide after the session" is a real decision.

Journal minimum: Save at least one short note in a Try or Reflect box for this lesson. You do not have to answer every question. Write what you noticed, a question, or what you still do not know. If you have not tried the activity, say so. You can use the example instead of personal details. This leaves something to return to in later lessons. Saving is not sharing.
