Senior Project Reflection
I am proud of my paper, but the part that I am most proud of is my ability to write a paper of this magnitude. Going into this project, I was really intimidated by both the length and requirements of this project. I've never written a paper longer than 4 pages single spaced, and that paper was a creative writing piece, with little-to-no structural requirements. Being able to string an argument throughout an 8-paged paper is a challenge in and of itself, but making that argument based off of weeks of research and compiling several different sources added to the challenge, as well as the payoff. I am very proud to be able to say that this paper is original and completely my own work.
The biggest struggle I had with this project was pushing through the infamous Senioritis while working on the biggest and most important project of my high school career. It was very difficult trying to stay focused throughout the research and development stages of this project, especially with the added distraction of college decisions. Senioritis was more evident throughout the first stages of this project because I was starting from scratch, but once I had a couple of stepping stones to work off of, I was able to persevere and finish my project with excellent results.
My biggest takeaway from this project has been the experience I have gained in writing a paper of this magnitude. In college, I will have to write several papers just like this one, so having this one under my belt will help me get through another paper, and hopefully have a good final product as a result of this paper and the experience it has allowed me.
