Blog 26: Senior Project Reflection

1) Positive Statement: I am really proud of my research throughout the school year. I feel that I was able to come up with quality research that really helped me on my two hour presentation. I am also proud of my mentorship. I really enjoyed my time spent at Leaps and Bounds Pediatric Therapy throughout my mentorship hours. I spent well over the required mentorship hours there. I am also still continuing to volunteer. I love what their program is about, and I love how my mentor, Cassie, is so passionate and knowledgeable about hippotherapy. Throughout my entire senior project journey, she helped me so much, and I am so thankful. I am also proud of the setup of my room for two hour presentations. I feel it really related to the feel of equine assisted therapy, and it gave off a fun western vibe. I also put a lot of time and effort into the setup. I definately feel it payed off.

2) A. I would give myself a P+. I feel that I had solid quality information about my topic and my answers. Also, given the circumstances, I feel that I had good activities.

B. For my overall senior project, I would give myself a P+. I had quality research, and all of my research was on time. Also, I had more research articles than required for a P consideration. I also feel that I did well on other senior project related activities and assignments.

3) What Worked: One thing that worked is that I had plenty of research available, thanks to my mentor. She was able to refer me to different sources. Also, she was personally very helpful. She was readily available and gave me plenty of useful information.

4) If I had a time machine, I would go back and change my 2-Hour Presentation. I had a lot more to say, but I forgot some of it and talked fast due to me being nervous. If I were to go back, I wish there was some way for me to not be nervous. Also, I did not have time for my third activity. If I could go back, I would manage my time better to ensure I have time for all three activities. However, I do feel I got my answers across successful.
