I began my senior project expedition probably my junior year. I was in A.V.I.D. and I became aware of the need to think about ideas of what I intended to do my senior project on. It truly wasn’t until the first month of my senior year where my English teacher mentioned to us that we would begin to work on our senior project. I had a plethora of ideas on what I pictured myself on doing my project on. One of my many ideas was on auto-customization. I enjoy learning about cars and their different attributes. I was interested in learning how to upgrade a cars performance and power. I was interested in learning how to change the interior parts of a car. I also thought of doing it on becoming a disc jockey (D.J.). This topic intrigued …show more content…

Wood companies that did not want to associate with his new flooring company caused some problems. This motivated him to really become successful. It took him about 2 weeks to find a company that will negotiate with his flooring company. After he had a deal with a wood company he began to advertise his company. “It was hard to advertise with a lot of competition out there.” He had some struggle getting customers. After time he went and advertised his company himself. He went to Corona del Mar and advertised his flooring company there and also at Newport Beach. There he began gaining popularity and began getting more and more customers. He hired trustworthy and skilled people to work for him. He asked his boss if he encountered any obstacles he could not find a solution to. After a few years of growth he opened a mini taco restaurant.

Talking to Arturo really a painted a picture of what the business life is all about. He gave me personal situations of how he managed to keep his business running. I learned many business skills that he learned are needed in order to be a good
It can be hard to know what one wants to do when they’re older. There are certain things to consider, like a level of interest in the topic, how much information one would already know, how much that will be needed to know, and to take in if this is what one would want to do in their future life. I know for me when I have to think about future plans it can really worry me. I tend to get stressed out, scared, and wanting to avoid the topic entirely, even though in the back of my mind I know I need to stop running away with what I need to currently take care of. It’s a lot like in the tragedy play of Macbeth. There was so much pressure to always be something more. If a right hand man of the king wasn’t good enough, then he had to be king himself.
In my first semester, I took English IV and dedicated all of my extra time to completing my graduation project. The project was a huge part of my grade for English, and if I did not meet the requirements for it, I would not have graduated. It was required that I write a research paper, create a product, record my progress in a portfolio, and present it all at the end of the semester. It was also required that I complete the project with a mentor. At the time, I was not sure what my career goals were, but I was interested in pediatrics and decided that it should be my topic in order to learn more about the
My focus of inquiry is gender roles. I chose gender roles as my focus of inquiry because there are multiple differences and similarities in the expectations of women and men then and now. The comparisons between the roles of each gender was enlightening. It made me want to know more, like how, when ,and why they changed if they did, or if they stayed the same what was there significance. This topic seemed to be interesting because these roles are something men and women everywhere experience in everyday life, but in each place around the world they could be different.
As long as I can remember I’ve been passionate about helping people who are in need. I
...t the last year of high school would be less agonizing without a laborious issue such as a Culminating Project, to attend to. Therefore, these points have been covered: what the project is, examples of different advocators of the project, and the different viewpoints of why it is useful verses why it is not. Hopefully, this can change the ideals and opinions of the administrators and enforcers of the Senior Project, to consider what a hindrance it is.
A senior project consist of four hours of community service, Dale Carnegie or a community project, mock job interviews, and a mock resume. When you start the ninth grade, start your senior project as soon as possible. Don’t wait till the last minute. My whole senior class waited till senior year to do theirs. It just made senior year more stressful. My friend waited till the last month of high school to get his done. Which made him stay out of things. He never got his cap and gown till the day before graduation and we got ours in March. I eventually helped him get it done so he could
In conclusion, the impression I got from this project was great. I had a great time seeing what I had taken notes on happen in front of my eyes. This project can helped me to understand younger people and why the act the way they do and how they develop into modern day
My selected area of interest for my senior capstone experience is lab-based research because I wanted to try something new. During my junior year, I had the honor and opportunity to work with Summerour Middle School’s Technology Team which showed me how computer programming could applicable in a certain profession. I learned several specialized programs that were a part of my mentor’s daily work routine and the importance of creating relationships with one another at the work site. Although I was able to take away several different skills and tips, the most important one that I realized was that I wanted try something else for my SCE. I had completed my JFE during the first semester of my junior year, so I was able to contemplate on what I
..., outside of my sheltered academic life, by giving me an opportunity to do real work. When I was sometimes struggling to complete the work, I realized that I had to be completely self-sufficient. There was no one there to help me. Because of this I learnt many real life skills in under three weeks. Overall, I am really glad that I choose this specific senior project. Working at The Cambridge Professional Center, LLC showed me a clear career path for myself as well as giving me more confidence. In conclusion, I believe the senior project is such a great opportunity for those who take advantage of the project. The one piece of advice that I have learnt from the senior project and would give to the upcoming juniors is if you make the most of the senior project or ay situation you can grow as a person, learn things about yourself, and make connections for the future.
My project was about me coaching a U8 girls soccer team. My goal was to have every player on the team learn how to play soccer and be able to play every position on the field by the end of the season. I coached my players by teaching and mentoring them so that they could advance in necessary skills needed to play soccer which were dribbling, passing, shooting, and teamwork. I chose this as my project because my greatest passion in life is playing soccer. I spend around 15 hours a week practicing and playing soccer. So when I decided to choose a project based on my personal interests, soccer was my first choice. I also love to help out others and the community so I spent a lot of time researching ways to influence my community as well as spend time playing soccer. I finally decided to work with my community’s local recreation center and I was assigned a team of young kids to coach.
I would advise the underclassmen to select a topic that they are really passionate about and not just pick a topic because it will be easy to research. Senior Project may seem like a long process because there are many components to the project that you need to complete over the course of several months but there are many learning opportunities associated with the project. Students are able to enhance their writing skills by writing an eight page research paper. In addition, students can have new experiences and exposure to the real
Not too many kids decide that they want to start their own business before even making it to high school. While I was in Middle School I realized that If I wished to get the things I want, then I’d need a job. However, being too young to drive and too young to get a job at a store, I decided to begin mowing lawns. It was a simple answer that was right in front of my eyes. So I began to mow neighbors lawns. Then as I got older and had the ability to transport myself and my tools, my business began to evolve into something much bigger. Now Ethan Lord Lawncare is a business that mows lawns, does spring and fall clean-ups, cuts trees, and any other odd job within reason. Starting my own business was the biggest period of personal growth in my life
By completing my senior project, I have realized just how much I have changed and grown from the time I was a freshman. From the shy, awkward girl I was, I have grown into a mature, responsible adult that can take charge. This project has made me realize that I am strong and capable of whatever task I put my mind to. Furthermore, the impact of this project will indubitably help me in my future career. I plan on going into the business/marketing industry and this project has helped me this respect. I was able to successfully find ways to promote and advertise my clinic. In addition, I learned how to become a good public speaker, communicator, and leader. These skills will help me every day, whether it be interviewing for a job position, spreading my ideas, or taking charge on a project.
