- Description of Assignment / Work:
This is a year long project that we have to complete to graduate. It is very self-directed, and there is not a lot of guidance. At the end of the year you have to have something impressive. This project requires a minimum of 100 hours of work. I have chosen to continue my junior project into my senior year. - What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I am most proud of the progress and knowledge I have gained doing this project. This is something that is very challenging, but I am very passionate about it. I started this project in my junior year, and have been working on it ever since. I think I will definitely pass the 100 hour mark. - What was most difficult about completing this task?
The most difficult part about my project is the failures that I experience along the way. In business many times you have to fail before you succeed. It can still be mentally very tough. - How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different?
If I were to start over, I am not sure what I would have changed. Everything happens for a reason and both my failures and successes have taught me a lot. I think the biggest problem that I had was waiting for things to line up to continue making progress. If I felt like it would be better for one thing to happen, and then the other, I would wait. But really the time that I lost made it not worth it. - How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? How can you apply this to future learning?
This relates a lot to my junior project as they are similar assignments. I will apply the knowledge I have gained from this business to every business that I start in the future. I have learned many skills that will help me not only in business but in life. - Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? This project demonstrates fiscal literacy. It is a business and I have gained a lot of business knowledge from it. I have a much better understanding of the principles in business and how to improve my skills.
