Reflection Part 1

1) What have you learned about the way you learn, work, and/or collaborate?
I really learned a lot about myself this semester, because last year I failed the semester so I promised myself that I would try harder and make sure that I passed this semester. So I don’t really know if it was because of the pressure that I put on myself to do well or if I was just going with the flow. I believe that my work progressed because of my internship experience. I was able to see the real world and not just think or talk about it. That learning process made me see the world in a different way. My collaboration has always been good because I have attended project-based school since the 6th grade I got used to working as a team player.

2) What project was most valuable to you, and what have you gained from it?
Ampersand. This project was able to show me to write at the best of my abilities. When I first started this project I was kind of scared because my writing was not that good. The first thing that I remember Randy saying was this is going to have to be the best writing piece that you will write or else its not going to be in the book. It was very hard for me just to start, but little by little I was able to get my writing to the high standards of what my teacher wanted. Of course it took me time to learn how to write well but I got it down, I believe.

3) Describe one valuable mistake you made this year.
The biggest mistake that I had was at the end of semester one, it was with the project Media Saves the Beach. The reason why I had a problem with this project was because my video was not done and my computer broke the week before. So I was not able to finish my project because of technical issues. I believe I had a B in Randy’s class before this but because I got a zero on this project I now have to go to summer school.
