Blog 23: senior project reflection

I am most proud of the way that I convinced myself that everything is okay so I could come down. The reason why I'm in so proud of this because in all my other presentations I was to nervous and didn't do so well and talked to fast but for this one I felt myself open up and really express what I wanted to say. 

I would self-assess myself with an AE for my block presentation because I felt so good about it at the end and everyone told me how great my presentation came out and that I had a every interesting topic. I went all out for this presentation and spoke over my talking time. 

For senior project Overall I would assess myself with a P because I did what was expect and cared the project through. 

What worked for me emencly in my senior project was that it hit home. I was talking about a subject that not only affected the people around me but also directly to myself. My mentors were the greatest help as well. 

I honestly wouldn't have done anything differently. I liked how everything turned out. 

My senior project helped me gain confidence and feel more comfortable with my own body and it also helped me get a job through my mentors.

 

Blog 21: Exit Interview

(1) In what way does the fashion industry most influence society?
- By establishing a perfect image
- By creating a culture that society emotionally invests in
- Economically
!best answer!- By establishing a perfect image because most of society tries so hard to follow it and they become so invested that they go through eating disorders and depression, some even get into drugs. This doesn't only affect the individual but also his or hers family members and friends. By influencing even one person the fashion industry can manage to influence a whole community.
(2) To arrive to my answer I talked to my mentor about what she thought was most important after explaining to her my essential question and all of my answers in great detail like I would an exit interview. I also sat down and wrote down a list of all the affects my answers have on society and my first answer came up with the longest list. The last process that i went through to choose this answer was that there was way more research on this topic than the others.
(3) The only problem that I faced while researching my senior project was to find different reliable sources for my third answer. I resolved this by talking to the financial advisers at SwatFame to talk about different sources they might be aware of so i can look up.
(4) Imran Amed and National Institution of Mental Health because they provided actual and experiments to prove what they were saying. They also helped me find some other useful sources.

April

This month I entered all of my mentorship, independent component, and summer hours into my blog. I also poured my thought and heart out in my I-search paper. I have most of that done, all I need to work on is my conclusion. This month I also finished my fourth interview. I'm so excited for this year to be over already.
