Blog 26: Senior Project Reflection


(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your 2-Hour Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?

The thing that I am most proud of is learning business adminstartion. I thought that I would need to find a class and spend a ton of money but instead I got a free one course. It really opened my eyes and helped me see into my future and career path I would like to take. This is why I felt that by me completing this business course was very good for me.

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your 2-Hour Presentation (self-assessment)?

      - I would say that I hit all the "P consideratin" boxes so a P.

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?
- I would give myself a overall P too because I did everything and it was not bad.

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
- My research really worked for me, even though I was not getting high grade I was getting good grades. It worked for me because at the beginning of the year I was not doing good on my research checks. At the end I improved and it helped gain knowledge on how to research. I felt that it was important to have them and I enjoyed them.

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?
- I would say that the science component did not work for me. I would have choosen something better to do than what I previously did. It was hard for me to find out what scientific thing I could do because my topic was running a skate shop so I felt that my scienc component was not strong. 

(5) Finding Value
How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?  Be specific and use examples. 
- During my senior project I learned a lot through my mentorship and just by myself. For example through my mentorship I learned that when you buy from suppliers they check how far other skate shops are from you to see if they already sell to them to not cause competition. Over all I just learned a lot about business managment and the skateboarding culture.

BATB 6 Championship

Battle At The Berrics is where pro skaters come together to compete in a game of SKATE. This is the 6 BATB with the theme of Goofy vs. Regular. The game SKATE is played with two skaters that try to do the same trick the first skater did. Baiscally it is like a game of horse for basketball but with a skateboard. If you don't land the trick the previous skater did you get a letter, the person to get all letters loses. At the Berrics they have a competition and yesterday was the championship final with P-Rod vs. Pj Ladd.

It was an intense game and totally rad to watch, here is the link if you are interested. There may be some mature content (but not really) so just for the heads up.
