The student completed their senior welding project and internship, which presented some challenges but was a positive learning experience overall. They struggled with creating the project website but completed it. Public speaking for the presentation was also difficult but they felt it went well. The mentor was very helpful. While the student initially thought welding techniques would be impossible to learn, they quickly gained proficiency. Through perseverance and their mentor's support, the student met their goals and is proud of their new welding skills.

hard but I achieved them and I'm proud of myself. I probably could’ve given more effort on the project but I feel like I did good overall. I’d say there's mostly positive things coming out of my project. I mean I learned a lot about what welding is and what it takes to be a welder. Like I said, I know I should've put more effort into my senior project but I'm proud of what I accomplished. What challenged me during my project probably was the weebly. It was challenging because there's a lot of tasks that needed to be done, so it was pretty hard but I got it all done. What also challenged me during my project was my presentation. It was hard because I needed a lot of information about my project and summed it up pretty well. I feel like I presented my keynote pretty well tho to my teachers and to the judges. What inspired me during my project was how Mike, my mentor, helped me so much and taught me so many things that made this project easier as the year went on. What I feel didn’t turn out like I expected during my project was I thought I was going to come in my first day clueless and not be able to figure out different welding diagrams, how to run different machines from the shop and how to weld on different metal but all of the sudden I figured it out quite fast and got good at how to do it by the end of my internship. Did I try hard enough during my experience? I feel I tried hard during my project when I was ahead of my class on some steps and I used that motivation to try even harder. Yes I procrastinated some and that was in the summer when I was going to do my hours because I feel I wouldn’t be able to get them done during the school year by the end of the first semester and how I got myself back on track was I told myself I was going to do it and started getting in contact with mike and then I started at the end of July beginning of August and put most of my hours in, in August and then I started completing them and talked to my mentor and he worked very well with me on my hours and we got them completed very quickly. I expected this experience more challenging than it really was, it was for sure challenging in some ways like the welding diagrams and the code to follow and how to weld different metals because the heat has to be perfect to be able to do it properly and have. It works by the end. I thought I wasn’t going to be able to figure out the welding diagrams and how to weld on different size metals at the start and by the end I could figure them out easily and get them all welder and it worked. Interesting discoveries I made during my project were I discovered the do’s and don’ts on how to weld big projects with everything having to be perfect and up to code. I also discovered that there are a lot of picky people in the world, some were customers. The most important thing I learned was probably how to weld fast and efficiently. I was nervous at first on the first day of the job but I learned quickly and got to be really good at welding. I feel like my goals were met because I worked really hard at the shop and at school. I feel like I could teach this to other people because I already did the project so I would know what to teach. Some moments I was most proud of were probably learning how to weld excellent fast. One thing I learned about myself was that I'm a pretty good welder.
