What worked for you in your senior project?
I think my 2 hour really worked for me. In
the 10 minute presentation I didn’t make time so that was I the back of my mind
before starting to speak for my 2 hour but everything ended up flowing really
nicely. My powerpoint was well organized and the activities correlated to each
answer. I made 30 minutes speaking time and met the 1 hour minimum presentation
requirement. I am really proud of myself for completing this and my entire
senior project without any major issues. Also my exit interview. I received an
AE on it despite the fact that I was beyond nervous. I had really done and
researched on my whole project so I knew all of the answers to my questions but
for some reason it made me really scared. I ended up getting a way better grade
than expected so I’m proud of myself for this as well!

What didn’t work?
If I could go back I would fix my 10 minute
presentation because I didn’t make time and had to represent. I was just really
nervous and I was the first one to go so that made it worse. I am much more
prepared now.
I would also redo my I-Search. A lot of
other stuff for senior project was going on and it was close to the last week
of core so trying to get everything together distracted me from doing my best
on my I-Search. Ortega did give us plenty of time to work on it but when it
came time to revise my drafts I didn’t do my best. I would have also liked to
have more people read it before I turned it in.

My senior project has been helpful to my future
endeavors by leading my to my career choice and getting my foot in the door. I
want to major in psychology and work with victims of abuse in a place like
house of shelter. Once I get my BA in psychology I will be able to case manage,
which is one thing they do at House of Ruth that I can start volunteering at
once I take my class. Like I stated earlier only a few volunteers get selected
for this position but Marina said it would be fairly easy for my because I am
so well known at House of Ruth and around the community because I have helped
with so many events and have made many connections.It has also helped
me mature and become more responsible. Usually at iPoly the whole group is
responsible for a project but this one is all you. I had to make sure
everything was done correctly, and turned in on time. I couldn’t rely on any
one else. If I needed help I had to go on the class page on Facebook or the
class blog and look for an answer.
I am really proud of all my
work, especially the fact that I am now super involved in the community and will continue
volunteering at House of Ruth and hopefully stay there long enough to
get a position to work there
