What I learned during the research process was the basic information based on safety to equipment dealing with construction. I also learned that there is a lot of things that construction workers go threw during their day by day process.

I also learned from my research that I would need proper safety gear to be able to do my Senior Project hours. My research related to my hours because it dealt with the early phases of construction which is excavating and blueprinting. The life skills I acquired from learning and working during the project hours was that you have to be physical and mentally smart when it came to working in the construction field …show more content…

The experiences I have with presentations or speaking in front of others is actually having a class on speeches where a wrote a speech every week. I also work at Food Lion where I have to talk all day where my people skills would increase every time I would work which has been 2 years so far.What I am doing to prepare for the presentation to ensure a successful completion is actually make sure I know my information by taking notes. I also prepare by taking note cards down and practicing what would sound good when it comes time for the speech. If I had to go back and do parts of the Senior Project again, I would of spread the amount of hours spent with my mentor. I would of also would of made sure that I have brought more water because it is hard work and could really tire you out. How the entire process stretched me as a learner, a professional, and as an individual was that it showed me work in the real world was not easy as every one else thinks in school. I also think it helped me grow on mental sense because it helped me grow in the engineering field. How it surprised myself when I encountered obstacles for example was when Mr.Pedulla let me put together some important equipment at first I was nervous at first then I jumped right in and started helping.How the skills I learned and mastered during the Senior Project will help me in my life is it will show

When an individual supports their values and beliefs, they understand the results of standing behind them. This, however, is not the case for the citizens of the United States. Many Americans say that they are fully behind certain causes, but when they see their beliefs turn to reality, they are often surprised and shocked at the consequences because they initially never understood them. It is understood that we as citizens stand up for a country that honors truth, liberty, freedom and justice. But what if we are persuaded to think how they would like us to?

Throughout the senior project, I accomplished two big research papers, a trifold and brochure to represent my college and career choice, and many other forms of research about my chosen occupation. By completing this project, I have learned that senior project is no joke. This project is huge and requires a lot of time and effort.

Introduction My proposal for an AIDS-free generation is to give out resources to the people infected by the virus to fight off HIV/AIDS but I'm going to be mainly focusing on the African American community because they make 46% of new HIV infections. It's true that 36.7 million people are living with HIV globally and 40% of them don't know that they have the disease(http://www.who.int). Therefore, we must give them materials/medication to help cope with the disease. People who are treated with the right medication and resources are more likely to survive the HIV/AIDS epidemic I believe that giving out medication to the black community would improve the world and their life because they are being the most affected by the HIV virus.

For my Senior Project, I organized a Book Drive and used local businesses around Woodburn to help me complete my ultimate goal. My ultimate goal was to raise one hundred books so that students in elementary school have the possibility of taking a book home and reading it. The reason I picked this as my project was because as a child I was fortunate enough to have books at home and to spend the majority of my free time reading. Considering the amount of time I spent reading as a child, I feel like it has enhanced my reading, speaking, writing and has made me a more prolific English speaker. In efforts to make my vision a reality, I chose Miss Parra, the Nelle Muir Librarian, for her admiration for books and experience with elementary students.

The overall semester definitely had its up’s and downs . As a Peer Mentor I have learned to appreciate my hardwork much more and also learned that speaking up a lot is key to key action to many things. One of my goals for the semester as a Peer Mentor was to get to know my peer mentees on a friendship level or maybe as acquaintances. That goal actually came true in a way because I only made three acquaintances only. Another goal I had throughout the semester was to go outside of my comfort zone a little, I really didn 't like to talk in front of the class.

As we were given the assignment to be able to come up with a senior project idea, my mind went to all sorts of places. I would think: what is something that I have always wanted to do, but cannot seem to find the time to do it? I thought that exercising has always been an important thing in my life and eating healthy because I feel like a whole new person when I am doing these two things. I am someone that is constantly stressed and came to notice that as I am exercising, I’m not thinking; I don’t think about what I have to do later in the day or what’s coming up the next week, I live in that moment, in the now, when I am exercising. The two things combined are an essential part of anyone’s life, which is why I chose this for my senior project - knowing that I have no excuse to not keep on doing these things, so having to find time for this is key.

As students, presentations are something that is required in most classes yet, students do not see themselves as public speakers. Throughout high school and now in college, I have had to present material in 80 percent of the classes that I have taken. Presenting was, and still is something that I struggle with no matter how big or how small the group is that I am presenting to. I knew that Public Speaking was a required class for me so, rather than putting it off, I decided to go ahead and get it out of the was as soon as possible. Speaking in front of people is out of my comfort zone.

Writing project 3 has shown me the importance of writing something that is of interest for you, an issue that you are passionate about. I think that I have started to get somewhat better at the structuring of my writing and using outlines before I jump into a draft. I am no longer as scared and hesitant to write, as I was the first writing project. I think a good goal that I accomplished from this project was using diverse sources in my writing. I was able to utilize a magazine post, newspaper article and research journals to form my argument and provide support.
