(1) Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
I am most proud of the fact that I didn't mess up a lot. I was worried this entire week that my anxiety would get the best of me and I would make to many mistakes. I am also proud that I was able to calm down throughout my presentation. Again I thought the pressure would be to much for me to handle for a whole hour.
(2) Questions to Consider
a. What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation? Use the component contract to defend that assessment.
I would give myself a P, I hit every point in my presentation and I was able to hook my audience throughout my presentation. I did forget a few things like a prop, and mentioning my EQ in the very begining, but it was my first presentation (at least one that lasted an hour long) and I didn't have references like everyone else did from last year.
b. What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project? Use the component contract to defend that assessment.
AE, Because I have worked very long and hard with my mentor. I have completed all of my assignments to the best of my ability. I have also done research that wasn't included in my working bibliography and I feel and portray the passion I have for this topic through the past three presentations i have had.
(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
Having Carol as my mentor was the best part of my senior project. I was comfortable around her and I was able to ask questions i normally wouldn't be able to ask other people. Carol was my main source for interviews and first hand experience when it came to working with foster children.
(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project?
Answering my EQ was the hardest thing for me because there is no set in stone program that prepares children in the foster care system to age out. I probably would have reworded the question, but kept the same idea of it.
(5) Finding Value
How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?
I don't know what I want to do when I grow up, but I know one day I want to provide a home for a foster child and I know for a fact that I will volunteer with bridge of faith for the rest of my life. I have made friends and gotten to know so many good people through the organization. I have learned the importance of having people there for me and around me by hearing these stories about children who don't have anyone to lean on when facing difficult obstacles.
