Personal Narrative: Why I Reed My Project

There were many people in my life that got me to who I am today. My family and friends were the main people that influenced who I am. There were many events that influenced me but the most recent one is picking early college.

Group project, as defined by the Business Dictionary: A collection of individuals that come together to achieve a stated objective. Group project, as previously defined by myself: a dreadful situation that I would try to avoid as much as humanly possible.

Starting high school can be a little scary, especially when you have no guidance from siblings, like me, being the first one from my family to have an education. But that did not stop me from succeeding, I?ve always been confident and determined. I?m an enthusiastic when it comes to trying new things. Who would have thought I was going to be a good athlete plus a book geek, when in my past years I was just a regular kid. I was pretty excited about joining a club that had a connection with high school, that way I didn?t have to start from zero, I always want to be a step ahead. Fortunately, in summer, a high school coach was recruiting freshmen for running either cross country or track, they both involve running, so I considered it like the same sport with different timing. And this is when it all started. Running

Senior project has definitely been a defining moment for me in my high school career. Senior project is basically a project all about what you want to be when you grow up, along with a few extra topics. I chose neurology and The BRAIN Initiative as my career and topic. I accomplished many things throughout this long process. I also gained so much knowledge about neurology

My name is Yris Guzman and I’m a senior at Perry High School. I’ve always struggled writing essays. The things I struggle the most with is grammar, spelling, coming up with a thesis, and organizing my thoughts onto paper. I hope by the end of this semester I become a better writer. We all have strengths and weaknesses.

It was August 28th 2013 , I knew the next day would be the biggest day of my life. All throughout the week, all I had on my mind was the big game. When I woke up on that Friday morning chills would run through my body a bolt of electricity. Knowing I’m one day away from one of the biggest games of my life. The winner has a spot in the playoffs. I was so excited and anxious that I went for a run around my neighborhood because I was filled with so much energy. When I got back from my run I had a creamy peanut butter and nutella sandwich. The best sandwich I’ve ever conceived to this day. Next thing I had to do was take my shower and get all my stuff prepared for the big game.

My first example of one of my peices of work is my Garage Sale flyer. I choes this as one of my examples because it demonstates my understandings of our unit all about creating flyers,business cards etc… The strongest aspects of this peice of work is the way I have all the information needed in an organized way. It does not look super cluttered. I think i could always work on something with any peice of work i do. With this peice i think i could work on my spelling and puncuation. Some of the skills i use to create this peice were; Change the backround, Bordes and accents, Text and

My senior project began with me stepping into a unique and exciting world; an adventure into modeling. I found myself wanting to learn everything regarding becoming a model and ways to break out of my shell and into a new comfort zone. The goals I planned before I finalized this project is to be in my first personal photo shoot, why? I loved seeing how rewarding it is to be photographed, and the self-esteem that builds within. The beginning of this project I had questions about what sort of person I am now and how I will shape afterwards, my road to gain these answers by how much work and effort I can accomplish this summer. My progress so far hasn’t been enough to modify my mindset into a people person professional, this has made shape into

“Nothing ever goes my way!” we, as teenagers, sometimes like to think. I, myself have been caught thinking this same way when I desire something, whether it be a tangible item, or a chance to hangout with some friends. Upon completing my senior project, my eyes were wide open. I have always been aware that there are homeless and impoverished people in Sacramento, but witnessing a large number of less fortunate children in one setting, whom all feel that “having a little” is the way of life was a bit appalling to me. There isn’t much that I could have done for the children financially, but I do feel that I left an impression on some of the children’s hearts.

Caroline, my sister, is the type of person who loves animals and says she wants to save the world. She thinks her jokes are the best, but she’s the only one that laughs. She is always willing to help someone out if they are stuck. She knows how to put a smile on someone's face. Whenever Caroline answers the phone, even if it wakes her from a nap, she always smiles first and then talks. “Because a smile can change any meaning” she always says. She is a 20 year old junior at “UW-Madison for my undergraduate degree in anthropology with certificates in archaeology and classics” (C. Schlinsog, Personal Interview, May 31, 2017). She is very smart, she is taking summer classes so she can graduate early and go on to graduate school. She has a big future ahead of her.

New Tech has taught me so much for collaborating. I had never really been in a team for a project before and it was something truly different. Here, you collaborate with everyone. This is a project based learning school which means you're going to have to talk to your peers at all times. It's not always a good thing though. You have to rely on people who don't want to do their work and that can be frustrating.

My first team project was not a very good experience. Out of the six total students assigned to the group, we only ended up with four. One of the team members only participated the minimal amount that was required and another one did none of the work, she just agreed to whatever was posted. The lack of participation made the project stressful and a lot of work. I believe that communication is one of my stronger strategies. Even though my first project turned out well, because of that experience I typically don’t like online projects. I prefer a team project that does require you to meet in person some of the time. I think when you must face the person it makes it harder for you to slack.

My 20 time project is to help kindergarteners to read and writing in a fun way we are going to make a youtube account. With the youtube account we will record ourselves reading to the kindergarteners. We will also have 2-3 stations to play with them.

The overall experience that I had for my summer project was good, my 50 pictures that I did take was all random places that I went over the summer. I had a good time taking the pictures and the experience was cool.  If I had to change one thing about this project it would be the time I took the picture, because if I took the pictures earlier in the summer than later on I would have more pictures on my project. Mostly because I started taking pictures the last few weeks of summer, and I had to rush to get as many pictures I can to be done with the project.  But everything else was pretty good and I thought I did a dent job on this

I feel that there in not only one thing that inspires me to be the best. Their is many thing that i just see, people I'm around and hear that makes be try to be my best. The people that always wants me to do my best is my family which is very helpful; for example, my brother is a very big help whenever i need it. I feel that everyone that is my friend is pushing me to be my best. When i play soccer my team pushes you always to be the best on and off the field because you need that your not going to learn anything if someone tells to you suck every day. Also i look up to people that are not sedentary and always like to go do have fun and do stuff other people wouldn't. But if i had to pick a hero that i would like to be like is my uncle because
