Memoir

What were the best and worst parts of the Senior Project/Senior Seminar?
The worst part of my senior project was deciding on the style and design of
the way I was going to create the blanket. Creating a memory and spending time
with my grandmother was the best part for me.

List three things you now know after completing your Senior Project.

1. One thing was that it taught me time management. How to prioritize my

time and how to use it wisely.
2. Organization played a big part in this as well. I was able to learn how to
stay organized. This is something that makes you able to finish things a lot
faster.
3. Multitasking was another one. Was able to learn to do more than one thing
at a time. For instance having to do homework, project and taking care of
my siblings while my parents worked. Takes a lot of patience and
multitasking.

Which aspect of the Senior Project/Senior Seminar stretched you the most?
How did you feel about and react to this challenge?
The thing that stretched me out the most, would have to say is when I had
to stay in Missouri with grandmother to get my project completed. Then waking
up early to attend class and complete homework.

How has the Senior Project/Senior Seminar changed you (skills, attitudes,
work habits, capabilities, confidence, poise, presentation, etc.)?
It has taught me how to improve my skills in a variety of ways, such as the
following: Multitasking, prioritizing, organization and time management. These
skills are going to allow me to advance in the working future of my career. All
these will improve as the years go on, so I am gratefule to what this class has
taught me.

Has this experience influenced your future plans?

Yes, because the time and the project had a lot of areas that will allow me
to use them in my career and future plans. Creating the blanket and allowing me
to spend time with my grandmother is all about the future and life. Creating
memories and time spent with everyone is something that you will always cherish

What would you do differently if you had to do the whole Senior

Project/Senior Seminar process again?
Create a task report and organization chart. This would have saved me
time and also allowed me to finish things a lot faster.

What advice do you have for next year’s seniors?

My advice would have to be get your work done on time, make sure you do
not fall behind. And also just enjoy your senior year!!

What grade would you give yourself for your Senior Project and what
justification do you have for that grade?

This was a very hard and time consuming project. I would have to say I would give myself an
-A, because there are things I would have wanted to do differently.
The justifications I would have to list are:
● Cutting fabric evenly
● Laying out patterns straighter
● Sewing each piece by hand to make sure patterns stay straight and firm
