Blog 26: Senior Project Reflection

Here's to the end of senior year!

1. I am just really proud of my two hour presentation in general. I loved the way that I set up the room, and I loved that people seemed to legitimately enjoy it. Everyone actively participated in my presentation, and I'm proud of how everything came together at the end. 
In addition, the thing that I am most proud of from my senior project is the yearbook. After all of our ups and downs, we made a really solid yearbook, and I could not be happier.

2. a.) For my two hour, I would give myself an AE. I truly believe that I went above and beyond with my presentation.
    b.) For my senior project, I would give myself a P+; I put a lot of time and effort into every aspect of what I did throughout these last nine months.

3. I think that my mentorship really worked. Mimi is so helpful to us, and she pushed us through a lot of obstacles that we encountered, and she helped us to overcome them. Having her to answer my questions and work with us was the most valuable resource that I could have asked for.

4. If I had a time machine, I would go back and do some more research, and really think about the answers that I gave for my exit interview more. Don't get me wrong; I definitely thought about how I would answer the exit interview questions, but I wish that I would've thought a little more.

5. The senior project was great. Not only did I get to research in depth a topic that I already love, but I got points for it! Through this project, and some of my downfalls as an Editor in Chief, I learned how to be a better leader. I thought I was a good leader until I had a ton of yerd pressure shoved onto me. I realized that my leadership abilities had cracks, and through some of my mistakes, I learned what NOT to do in the future. It helped me become a more well rounded individual. Now, I know what my strengths are as a leader, and what my weaknesses are. Therefore, I can plan accordingly for all of my future leadership positions, and adjust in order to be the best that I can be.

Emma, Out.

So, the yearbooks came. And then they were distributed. Which means it's the end for me. I'm all done. It's so strange to think about. Every year, the book would come out and we'd all giggle, and it was ok because we always had next year to make another book. But, I'm all done with that. No more yearbook for me. Ever. At all. I know they aren't perfect, but there was a lot of hard work and love put into those books. I hope that everyone enjoys them and understands that it is no small task to create a yearbook.

So, goodbye high school, and goodbye yearbook. You will be missed. Love, Emma.
