Blog 26: Senior Project Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your 2-Hour Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
One of the things that I am definately proud of for my senior project is my decision to choosing child life specialist as my senior project. I was really happy that I had the oppurtunity to teach other teachers and students about the unknown career of child life specialist, and the significance that they make. Overall I was pleased because my topic never once had me questin my decision and it allowed me to continuously learn more and more evryday. Along with my topic, I am really proud with my research as a whole, never in my whole life had I ever researched something so continuosly. I am satisfied at with the fact that I was focaused with my resear and was determined the most to find the best research. Even though at first reasech checks were a struggle for me, I am proud that I showed major growth,and even more happy that I have a binder full of research to always look back on.

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your 2-Hour Presentation (self-assessment)?
For my assesment for my two hour even though I am positive that I hit all of the "P" concideration points, I would give my self a "AP". Although this isn't what I would want to give myself, I feel like due to my nerves I let it get the best of me, and I feel like I could of explained a few of my slides in more depth.
b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?

Overall for senior project I would give myself a "P" because although the bumps along this journey, I feel like I worked hard enough throughout the whole year to deserve this grade. All of my assignments were done and completed properly on time.
(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
Along with my research,what worked for me as for senior project was my 30 minute lesson. Being able to present a 30 minute lesson on my own was an accoplishment for me because this was one of the presentations that I was successful at. After presenting and recieving my grade I gained the confidence to continue throughout the senior year/project.

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?
If I had a time machine to go back, I would havenot procrastinated as much as I did as for completeing my powerpoint for my two hour presentation. I feel like I would have finished it weeks before, I would have had more time to perfect the way I was going to present. If I could of done that, I would have been less stressed out the day before.

(5) Finding Value
Overall the experience of senior project will always be something I will cherish. No matter how much my nerves got to me today during my presentation, at the very end once the audience applauded for me I felt one of the greatest feelings. I looked back to point when I was deciding what my topic was going to be,  times at mentorship, the ups and downs with research, the times when I got no sleeps, the time I once brokedown...all of it for this one moment. Completeing this senior project was one of the most challenging things that I had to do throughout my life. Never have I ever been committed to working on something for so long. Overall I appreciate what this project has taught me. I have personally learned how accept the fact that no matter what there is always sacarafices that you are going to have to make to get things done. I am pleased that this project allowed us to learn how to find and apply good research, this is something that I will always be able to keep in mind while in college.
