Project Reflection Essay

When I first got accepted into Stuyvesant High School, I heard countless of rumors stating: “Oh the workload is terrible”, “The competition is so fierce” or “Out of schoolwork, extracurriculars, or sleep: you can only pick two.” I found it hard to let it faze me, since I graduated from one of the most prestigious middle schools. However, the rumors transformed into reality when I stepped into Mr. Nieves’ Freshman Composition Class. The workload at the beginning of the year was brutal, coupled with assignments from other core classes that seem unaware of the workload of other teachers. Reading assignments were a regular, and there were journal entries and occasional quizzes to keep us in line. What made it bearable was the friends I made in that class; everyone had their own opinion about the topic we were talking about, and listening to other perspectives really broadened my horizon and enriched my learning experience in Stuy. Another thing that this class has taught me is the importance of time management, a skill that I will carry on for the rest of my high school career and life. When I choose to sign up for Mr. Nieves’ AP American Literature class in my Junior Year, I was hoping to relive the discussion-based lesson plans and meet more outstanding peers. I was not disappointed, to say the least, reflecting through all the experiences at the end of the course. The lesson plans he laid out for us were an interesting mix between small lectures and class output, and what I

From hard work, comes success. At the beginning of the year, I did not know how I was going to be successful when it came to Senior Project. I had multiple ideas with what I wanted to do, I was struggling to find connections, and I was even going to be a part of a completely different group. I tried one idea, that failed. I tried another idea, that failed. I thought to myself, “What am I going to do???” All my ideas had one thing in common: photography. I knew for sure I wanted to use photography as a way to help others or bring awareness to a certain issue. It was not until late September when I figured everything out. It was the end of cheer practice and Ms. Korba was handing out pink cheer bows for us to wear during the month of October

The main amount of the budget is provided by the college, and $600 provided by student as day tour fees of $20 each per student. As a team has we reserved $1000 from the budget as contingency plan, which will be discussed later on the project.

The Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) project, undertaken by Electronic Data Communications (EDC) is the biggest government undertaking of its kind. It aims to provide a single seamless network which would provide a centralized communication to the Navy and Marine. It also aims to integrate the legacy systems with the new secured environment. The NMCI project aimed to connect about 400,000 desktops into a common network, which would provide a unified communication to all Navy and Marine bases (Calbreath, 2004).

The west was at the forefront of international textile design in the 1950s. After World War II the art of textile design experienced a radical change. The drab days of the War were put behind by the introduction of the ‘Rockabilly’ life style, with the younger generation sporting fashion with fresh, progressive novelty designs in bold abstract patterns and saturated colour. Crazy colours like pink could be seen in menswear with atomic novelty prints making a huge splash with two toned shirts and jackets. For girls, full skirt dresses with lots of crinolines, bold prints and bright accessories was the popular look. These bold patterns also transcended fashion and made a dramatic entrance over conventional furnishing fabrics. The new wave of

When I write, I believe one of my strengths is that I am able to generate logical perspectives and strong conclusions. I am able to analyze the literature and relate to it in many different ways. In the compare and contrast essay I wrote, "Oliver conveys a tone of remembrance by juxtaposing 'the old burn-dump this waste place' and 'this secret garden'". I am able to apply literary terms and analyze how the author uses them to enhance their writing. In the same essay, I stated, "By using short, concise sentences, Oliver is more direct in her delivery and showing her lamentations for what has happened to the earth around her". I am able to analyze what the author is doing and the effect that it has on the reader.

The Qipao is women’s dress with a slit skirt and a very high neck. The Chinese dress has a close-fitting that designed for all ages of women, varies sizes, and among all cultures. It is also known as cheongsam in Cantonese and modern gown. The dress was first worn by old Manchu’s.

This experience with the project was very informative. It gives a person the opportunity to walk in the shoes of the person he or

The lesson I’m going to tell you about was a very important one. It shaped me into who I am today, and the outlook I have on things. This might not be a situation that other people would think would be important, or necessary, or something you should remember for years to come. But this moment has stuck with me since I was 8. This instance was when I Skipped school back in 3rd grade.

Mmm, you were right the rates are not very generous. I am going to be completely honest; it does put me off a little, from experience how much work will be needed to make this first course a success, which is crucial to ensuring that people feel it's worth signing up for the whole series. I would only want to do this if I can offer something meaningful and valuable. Having spent three days last week rewriting an advanced specialist course for Pilates teachers, I know just how much time these things take as I am sure you do.

I began tutoring incarcerated adults at Jennifer Roads Detention Center during my freshman year at Howard. Each week, I drive over an hour from Howard to Anne Arundel County. I park, leave my life in the car, walk through the security x-ray, and wait for an on duty officer to take my fellow Petey Greene tutor and I through the facility to the designated room. Walking through the jail, I take stock of my life and my goals. During my time at Howard University I have learned so much from allowing new experiences, to continue shaping my life. As these experiences change my perceptions of the world, my passion for medicine and desire to work with others in the practice of medicine have grown.

Time goes by so fast that I cannot believe the fall semester is almost over. During this semester, I have developed some good habits and skills. As part of my well-being, I have added meditation to my everyday schedule. It is a good habit I have developed. Also, I am amazed about the improvement in my computer skills using a Mac computer, they are getting better. Something that keeps me tired is that I have not been able to get enough rest due to all the responsibilities I have. Reflections make you think and the one I am writing now has made an impact on my perception of goals and priorities. Setting goals is a long-term vision and short-term motivation. I have set up goals to improve my study habits and time management. First, I must learn to say no to people when they ask me to do something for them. Second, I will try to relax by practicing yoga. As part of my study habits, I will turn off my cell phone while I am studying to avoid distractions.

I’ve always considered myself a fairly decent writer but we all have room to improve. I just like everyone, sometimes miss errors in my writing no matter how hard I look over my writings. People that know me often enjoy my writings because they understand my writing style or how I think but sometimes my errors that I miss deter others from enjoying my writing. I would like for more people to be able to connect with the things I am writing about, this is why I am working hard this semester to fix my errors and understand how to prevent those errors in the first place.

Between the summers of 2012 and 2016, I volunteered at the bible school offered by my church. The general goal for leaders was to work with elementary school children and lead discussions and assist the children in learning more about our religion. However, my personal goals were to make connections with my students, maintain a positive attitude, and gain communication skills. The group of students each leader works with alternates each summer, proving it to be difficult to create a relationship with my students; but in 2016, I met a child who despite his own difficulties, always remained positive and was grateful for every opportunity he received. I noticed a change in my attitude that summer, I had become both more positive and gracious. I was a role model and confidant for the student, despite our relationship only lasting the summer. In return for my healthy influence, my student taught me that there is a silver lining in everything and everyone deserves to be happy, regardless of their living situation. By reaching my goal of making a connection with a student, I was able to simultaneously achieve my goal of positivity, ultimately improving my leadership. Due to my work in the program, I became more confident and gradually built up my communication skills that helped me become an effective leader. The adults who ran the program recognized my hard work and dedication to the program and would praise my leadership and compassion. To know that my leadership was making a
