Blog 26: Senior Project Reflection

Positive Statement:
I am most proud of the friendships I've made throughout my project. This is because the kids at the center can come to me for their problems which is incredible. These are friendships that will last that I wouldn't have without my project.

Assessment of my 2 Hour: P

Assessment of my overall senior project: P

What Worked:
During my project, my mentorship worked. I looked forward to going and for the most part, every day was a great experience. I really did learn a lot about my community and the youth in it. I made many friendships with staff and kids and really enjoyed myself throughout.

What didn't work:
Well if I could go back, I'd do more in the initial research checks. I really didn't learn much in the first few, so I could have used those research checks for better articles so I could learn that much more.

Finding Value:
Well, I believe my senior project will help me in future endeavors by giving me a career choice that I probably wouldn't have considered. I know how the center works and I know whats important in helping kids get the most. Even if I don't go into this career, I have a better understanding of customer service. I also learned the importance of taking care of myself physically and things like that. I also believe I'm a more helpful individual. I try more to help others than I ever have. At the center if a kid needed help with homework or getting a ball down I was there. Even now on my street when I see a kid playing basketball with a flat ball I go and pump it for them. This is something I definitely would have never done.
