Accomplished

I can honestly say senior presentations has definitely been the most difficult encounter throughout my Ipoly experience. Everything from creating a powerpoint to rehearsing my information has been STRESSFUL. Although, I do appreciate being able to be given the opportunity to research more on the career I wish to pursue in the future. I am know confident as to deciding to become a Neonatal Nurse. I feel like my researching skills have matured since the commencement of my senior project. Learning to effectively search quality research will help me once I start college.

I am ready to graduate and become a toro!

Blog 22: Senior Project Reflection

Title: Senior Project Reflection

Label: Presentation
Directions: Please answer the following questions and turn it in to the blog.
Due Date: The day after your block presentation by 8:00 A.M.

(1) Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?

The biggest fear I had before presenting was that I wasn't going to be able to meet the 30 minutes required of talk timing. So I am most proud of being able to present and have meet the time requirement. Being able to gain some much more knowledge on the career I wish to pursue was also what I was most proud of. 

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?

AE       P-   AP     CR       NC

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?

Mentorship at Casa Colina worked for me because it helped me gain knowledge on the foundation of being a nurse and a feel of what its like to interact with different patients. My senior presentation worked for me because in the 30 minute presentation I didn’t make time so that was in the back of my mind. But thankful I succeed in meeting time for my presentation. 

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?

If I could go back in time to improve a component of my senior project I would go back to my 30 minutes presentation because I didn't meet time. I think I was just so nervous I talked super fast, although my time was super close I would have like to have been able to represent. 

(5) Finding Value

S    Senior project has been helpful to my future endeavors by leading me into deciding the career I will pursue in the future. Completing my senior project was one of the most difficult things I've had to do encounter throughout my IPoly experience because I've never really been good with communicating with others and never been a good presenter. Senior project has been very stressful yet very beneficial. Overall I truly appreciate what this project has taught me. And I find it very helpful that this senior project has allowed me learn to find and apply quality research.

INTERPRETIVE 
What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
From volunteering at Casa Colina, the most important thing I have gained through my experience has been the opportunity to interact and work with different patients. It has helped be aware of how important it is to communicate effectively with patients.

APPLIED 
How has what you've done helped you to answer your EQ? Please explain.
My mentorship experience didn't help me answer my EQ because of the fact that I didn't have the chance to volunteer at NICU department. However, my interviews were useful and helped me answer my EQ. It made me realize that in order to ensure healthy growth communication needs to take place.
