Blog Two: Topic Choice

               My topic is Women’s Abuse. I chose this because I wanted my senior project to be something where I would be able to help people or make a difference, and although I picked this topic very randomly, I am really glad I chose it because I can eventually help make a difference and I really enjoy my service learning and it is something I can potentially see myself continuing to do in the future.

                As an Ipoly Citizen I plan to take everything Ipoly has taught me about projects and how to best complete them in a group and use that information too successfully handle my independent senior project. I will be responsible for everything that happens and use all of my resources as best I can to help me get through this final project. Ipoly has shown me to think outside of the box and never stay within the guidelines, I was taught to go above and beyond and that is what I plan to do.

                As an Effective Communicator I plan to take all of the critical and factual information I get and make people more aware of how serious of an issue domestic violence is. Throughout tradeshows and my two hour presentation I will hopefully be able to get the word about abuse out there, so people are more informed about the issues, causes and how to get help.

                As an Effective Learner I plan to take everything I learn about through the internet, books, interviews, service learning and videos and put it all into my project so that I can share what I have learned with others. This will help me to become and effective learner because I will be doing research independently and learning on my own so everything I learn about will be useful in some way because I went through a process to discover it, whether it be looking for articles that pertain to my topic or leaning a new fact in my mentorship.

                As an Effective User of Technology I will use my computer skills to make posters and flyers for different events that House of Ruth will host and also put my creativity and knowledge of technology into different components in the senior project.
