Captone Project Reflection

It taught me how to be a leader. As I went through each step of the senior project,

The rationale for requiring a capstone project is well documented. A culminating assignment provides an opportunity for students to challenge themselves and explore a subject that they are passionate about and may even want to explore as a career option. It is an opportunity for them to synthesize and apply skillsets they have learned over the course of their education and apply them in new and exciting ways to create something of their own. It requires critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration with a mentor and self-management. The process also requires students to utilize and hone the soft skills that are necessary and valued in military service, employment and higher education.

In our senior year, the administration fought back. They forced us to sit through Planning Team for an hour each week. Were they trying to make people drop out? Well we survived! They also changed the Senior Lot to the Student Lot! But after the senior guys explained the importance of the Senior Lot tradition to the underclassmen, the underclassmen quickly realized that the street was a much safer place to park. Maybe we did inspire some of the same awe of the classes that preceded us. We ran the school like a senior class is supposed to.

Over winter break, I struggled to come up with an idea for the capstone project. I was looking for a project that meant something to me, that I would want to dedicate an entire semester to working on. I was completely lost and did not know how I was going to choose one. Then I received an email from my colleague, Nathan Johnson, who asked if I was still interested in working with him for the capstone project and explained his idea. The idea was to create a depth perception system to help the blind in navigation, using convolution neural networks. I was on board right away and very excited about working on this project. The project sounded like because it seemed that it would be a project that would actually benefit society. Furthermore, my mom lost 50% of her vision in 1995, which completely changed her life and showed me how important this project could be. ...made this a

Clay honors portfolio because of the adversity she has faced and overcame. Although she was teased growing up and her best friend past away from a car accident, she did not let this hinder her. When I read success stories it inspires me to preserve through my struggles. Essentially what I got from this capstone is that it does not matter what is on the outside it’s who is on the inside.

The purpose of a Capstone project, in my opinion is to challenge a senior student in college in a particular topic or assignment through research and essay. For instance, for this unit’s Capstone project I have chosen to elaborate more on Obesity in America. I have a great amount of interest in the topic because; it’s no secret that obesity today is still on the rise and hindering the lives of the American people, including the youth and adolescents. I would like to learn more about the root of the problem of obesity in America and where it stands in this era. I remember working as a clerk at a local WIC office about five years ago and questioning nutritional packages that were granted to eligible

After doing this project it truly opens your eyes and puts everything into perspective. In the beginning I was dreading doing it because I knew it would be a lot of work and a lot of time. After going through the binder and realizing all the information I didn't even know existed was surprising. I am glad I was able to do it my freshman year because now I can start planning and figuring things out. I can also figure out what classes I have to take before getting to many unneeded credits that won't transfer to grad school. Also, this summer I can start figuring out internships and volunteer opportunities. When I was looking up some schools I realized that barley any of my credits would transfer or that some of the classes I was thinking about taking didn't even mater. One thing I found helpful was when I went on schools in the state of Michigan's website like Central Michigan, Western Michigan and Grand Valley they had a tab that would show all the credits from Spring Arbor that would transfer to there schools. I always said I would start looking up graduate schools but in all honesty I would never do it. Doing this project made me motivated for the future and also excited.

Throughout my entire University of Minnesota Rochester career, I knew the time would come for me to prepare my capstone and deliver it to a room full of people. It only began to set in when we I was sitting in my section of capstone proposal writing class last spring that this was actually happening. Now that I am sitting here writing the essay to my final report, I am overwhelmed that I am just days and weeks away from graduating. This is a bittersweet end to such an incredible time throughout my experience here and specifically during the preparation of my capstone. Through these experiences, I have learned to traverse the uncomfortable and come out the other side a better student and a more prepared applicant for the future of forensics

The Capstone project is a huge project that the eighth graders do. It takes the whole school year to complete. It is a project that is meant to help the environment. When the group of no more than four people comes up with an idea, the science and civics teacher will have to approve of it. The project started in October, 2016, and ends at the end of the school year, 2017. The project is not optional and all eighth graders must participate. Every so often, the teachers will check in with the group and see how the project is coming along. At the end of the year, the students will tell the teachers how they did and if it worked out well or not so well.

We all dream about doing something commemorative that you and your family will remember for years to come. Whether its doing something a daredevil would only dream about like climbing Mount Everest or something as simple as learning to ride a bike. These are the little and vital things that make our lives worth living. Fortunately for me, I have experienced many breathtaking adventures and accomplished the impossible, well at least I thought. My proudest moments include learning to ice skate, concurring my fear of heights, and of course getting accepted into the AP program here at Central Peel.

In the beginning of this passion project I was a bit skeptical at first on whether or not the topic of school locker room replacements was the right project topic for me. I did not decide right away if I wanted this to be my project topic until the very last day when it was my final day to decide it. When my group and I first started the project I had an abundance of questions on how we would research, what questions we will have to ask ourselves, should be find expert opinions, and even how we would start the project to begin with. Gradually I was worried, but the more we worked on it the more and more I started to figure out the answers to all my questions I had been wanting an answer to; and this was only in the first three weeks of the project.

North Kansas City School Districts' diploma of distinction, the Gold Medallion Honors Diploma, requires greater participation in advanced core classes and increased experience in performance events and assessments. Enrolling in this high school program has been an incredible educational experience for me. One of the requirements is for each student to take part in a 40-hour internship, specifically in the field pertaining to their intended major or career. While this may be viewed as a substantial and potentially tedious requirement, it became a remarkable opportunity for me to experience what I may spend the rest of my life doing.

Today, I had a great day at clinic. Even though I did not have a partner since Joanne had to live early, I had the opportunity to work with Ethar, Krenar, Olga and Stefanie. I found the intra oral portion of EIOE to be easier than the extra oral. I think it is because for the extra oral portion we have to examine different parts of the head, neck and face; and for the intra oral portion all the structures are located in the mouth.

Graduation is an exciting time in a person’s life, especially a high school graduation. When I think of family and friends gathering together to celebrate a joyous occasion, I feel I accomplished my strongest goal. It never occurred to me that graduation would be the end of my youth and the start of adulthood. Graduating from high school was an influential event that gave me an altered outlook on my existence. Life before graduation, preparing for graduation day, and commencement day overwhelmed me for reality.
