What I'm most proud of my senior project was all of the research I collected. Throughout my senior year I researched a lot because my topic was something I wasn't familiar with, autism. I knew nothing about autism and now I can say that because of my senior year I know everything there is to know about pervasive developmental disorders. I'm glad I went with autism for my senior project. I'm also most proud of the way I presented. I feel like I referenced so much of my resources and that went great.
The assessment I would give myself for my block presentation would be a solid P. The reason for that is because I met all of the requirements there were to get a P. I also referenced a lot of my research so I feel like that helped me out a lot. I spoke a bit too fast in some parts but I feel like my sources were so great that everything was fine and also the fact that I went over my 30 mins research content.
The assessment I would give myself for my senior project would be an AE. The reason for that was because I was always on task when it came to everything. I also always had extra articles every week and I went over my research count all the time. When it came to deadlines with my senior project, I was always on time in turning in everything.
What worked for me in my senior project was my mentor, Dr. Elaine Chen. She helped me so much throughout the whole project. She always answered the questions I had for her. She was also a great interviewee. She helped me with my essential question and my answers. Other than her being an awesome doctor, she was an awesome mentor.
The one thing I could say that didn't work for me was coming up with my third answer. It got complicated because Mrs. Yelverton wanted me to talk about coping but it wasn't really something I wanted to go into but after researching into it I realized that it would be a great answer and it turned out to be right.
My senior project has been helpful for my future for many reasons. One reason for that is because I was able to volunteer at Sunshine Pediatrics for my hours. Another reason is because I shadowed with my mentor, Dr. Chen, so many times and that got me to learning new things that I didn't know about. I've always wanted to be a pediatrician ever since I was twelve and my senior project experience didn't change that but pushed me more into becoming a pediatrician.
