Senior Project Reflection

(1) Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your 2-Hour Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
I over came the fear of presenting in front of 30 people. Also even though I had family issues I still over came how I felt to do my work. I got so much out of my senior project and I now know Psychology is the thing for me.
(2) Questions to Consider
a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your 2-Hour Presentation (self-assessment)? Why?
      P     -       AP     
I did what was required but I felt like I could of done better. I should of entertained my audience a lot more. 
 
b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)? Why?
   AP     I had a hard time keeping up with the due dates. But at the end I felt like I showed that this is my passion.
(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
  
When the teachers were there to constantly there to remind/ or help you.

(4) What didn’t work for you in your senior project?
How I had to change my eq to counseling at first bugged me but then i learned how to make that something i wanted to do.
(5) Finding Value
I know have a connection with my service learning person Mr.May. I asked him if i can apply to be a program leader and her agreed to refer me to whoever.

Independent Component 2

Literal
(a)  I, Rosie Garcia, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
(b) I was part of Mr. Mays staff. I helped him buy taking care of the kids and if they needed someone to talk to I was more then glad to help them.
Interpretive
This was helpful/ helped me answer my EQ because per-teens were sowing that they were beginning to get influenced by peer pressure or the fact that they wont be "cool". They end up making their decisions based on what others might think.
Applied
This 12yr old girl was getting bullied about her weight. Her self-esteem began to worsen and that fact that she had few friends effected her. Her mom noticed something wrong with her as soon as she started trying to lose weight and they was she dressed started changing. I saw how her "friends" would tell her rude and unappropriated things. So I tried getting their attention to let them know it's not okay.
