How did it go?

I presented my project on Wednesday. I thought it went well expect honestly my judge stopped me halfway through my project. I showed her my video and that was supposed to be the halfway point. After the video, she started asking me questions instead of letting me go on to present my website. I did not mind because she asked me the questions that I was gonna answer anyways, but I kind of wish that she would have let me show her my website. I really liked my website. She was a really really nice judge though, so I did not want to be rude and be like, "I'm not finished talking!!" Overall, it was good, and I am glad that everything is over and all the stress will die down and let me focus on my other classes now. I cannot believe the year is ending. I am excited to finish, graduate and move on to university, but I think I am going to miss high school so much. I am going to miss the memories and people the most. Best wishes to Class of 2012! :)

The Big Presentation

Today is my day to present my final capstone project. I have prepared a website, poster, and posterboard to present to my judge. I'm dressed up and have a sketch up of a proposal for my end product, ready to take on questions. Goodluck to us all :)

Capstone Class 5 Minute Presentation Today!

So at 1:00 PM, I'll be in my Senior Project class having to present my Capstone project for my class. It is not the official presentation, but it still counts for a lot of my grade. I actually woke up really late, but ironically I'm more dressed up than usual because of this project. I am ready to present and get this day over with! I will most likely just present my website as my technology support and just talk about who I am, my project, and my goals.On the actual day, I plan to present my website and do the same yet have a prototype or some product as visual aid to get more of the gist of the idea of my end product as a solution. I am excited to see how all of our projects turn out to be. I'm so glad it's almost over, and we can have a little less stress in our lives afterwards.

If I already graduated...

...and finished school completely, my title would be "Orthodontist". I would be Dr. Lavarn the Orthodontist to be exact.

The pluses to the Capstone presentation:

• Gain a learning experience 
• Learn to really research
• Be able to write a 15 page paper
• Use your imagination and your brain
• Organization is gained
• Learn how to present and give a speech well
• Gain the ability to put technology to use

The minuses to the Capstone presentation:

• Working on a project for a whole year that may not be of your interest
• Stress
• Too many restrictions and not so much lenient say
• Ideas being rejected too much
• You get bored of it after working on it for so long
• So much research
• The idea of messing up and failing scares you

There are probably more pluses and minuses, but those stated above are the ones that just popped up in my head.
