(1) Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your 2-Hour Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
I am really proud of the way that everything came together. I based the style of my senior project off of a talk show, and it really did feel like one. I was a little scared to speak from a couch rather than doing a full on power-point standing up because I felt like my audience might loose interest in my presentation, but it actually turned out to be something that I felt engaged them much more than a regular power-point presentation would. I was glad I went out and tried something different and new for my presentation. The time I spent practicing and preparing for my presentation has led me to have a very successful senior presentation that I find to be one of the best presentations I have ever done throughout my four years at iPoly. Overall, I was proud to see my audience members actually being able to understand and apply what I was presenting into their activities, I was proud of myself for the way I presented my senior project, and I was proud of how much fun both me and my audience members were able to have while learning about this topic through my talk show presentation.

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
Doing my presentation in a talk show style really worked out for me. My mentorship was amazing also because they helped give me real life experiences in which I was able to learn from and apply my research into. Through my mentorship, I was able to see what it is really like to be an Interior Designer, which gave me a better understanding of my topic and also helped solidify answers to my EQ. My independent components worked for me also because it allowed me to act as an Interior Designer by decorating the interiors of my room and patio and putting into practice the different information I learned from mentorship and research.
(4) (What didn't work)
If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?
Everything pretty much worked out for me in my senior project. I had trouble with my mentorship because of distance, but I would never go back in time to choose someone to be my mentor other than Rey.
(5) Finding Value
How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors? Be specific and use examples.
Because of my senior project, I have come to realize that I want to be a designer. Maybe not exactly an Interior Designer, but I definitely want to do something where I can be a designer. I always enjoyed the days spent at mentorship and I loved the process taken in completing my independent components. These two things have sparked my interest in pursuing a career that would allow me to design. If I ever do become an Interior Designer, I will know what path needs to be taken and how much work will be needed to go on that path.
