Senior Project Reflection

1) Positive Statement
 I am most proud that I was able meet 30 minutes of talking time and that there were no major problems in my pesentation.

2) Questions to Consider
a) I would give myself a P because I feel that I met all the requirements and everything had a connestion to my EQ.

b) Overall I would give myself an AP because I began to struggle and fall behind towards the end.

3) What worked for you in your senior project?
 I think service learning and the independent components worked because that's where I was able to analyze even more what winning a softball game was.

4) What didn’t work for you in your senior project?
 Towards the end of senior year I did not make the research requirement and that effeced my grade in the exit interview.

5) Finding Value
The senior project has allowed me to see my capabilities in the sense that I feel more confident presenting information and digging deeper into a subject, and I also know now that I can overcome hard work and that I will be able to make it through my further education.

Service Learning

 L: My service learning was practicing and working closely with my coach, Skip. (909) 260-5378
        Total : 72 hours

I: The most important thing I learned from service learning is focus and concentration. I learned how to stay mentally in the game and keep focus. I learned a new hitting technique as well because I had been in an offensive slump. My coach decided to change my mechanics completely and now I am able to hit the ball a lot better and focusing comes more naturally.

A: This helped me answer my EQ because my answers are making contact with the ball, having no errors, and creating a common goal. All of my answers require mental focus and drive to accomplish. You can't hit the ball, field the ball, or win a national championship without being able to put all your energy and concentration into the game.
