Interdisciplinary Project

When I found out we were doing the interdisciplinary project I was a bit disappointed because I never enjoyed it out of the two semesters we had done it previously. We started off by being put into groups. I was grouped with Eric, Desteny, Isaac, and Verenice. Together we picked the topic Hemophilia. As a group we decided the the essential question and thesis. With all that set we then wrote an essay that I edited and used the essay as the backbone to our power point for the actual presentation. We spent very little time on our interdisciplinary in our classes except for English which took up a lot of learning time. They day of the presentation I felt like I wasn't prepared at all because of my nervousness. I found myself forgetting everything that was on my power point so I had to read my power point a few times to get it right. The presentation was overall more simple than I thought it would be. It was only about five minutes and once I was up in the room doing the actual presentation my nervousness drained. I thought it was very helpful that my mother was there and I wasn't the only one nervous. If I were to do this all over again I wouldn't  be as nervous because I know what to expect and it was easier than everyone made it seem.

There were many good things about this project and bad things.

Pros:

1. It provided us with an example to how a professional presentation with future employers might be. 
2. We were evaluated by real professionals to tell us how we did
3. Taught us how to work with people we are not used to working with
4. It gave people the opportunity to improve their grades in their core classes

Cons:

1. We spent too much class time on this project when we could have learned
2. It was too close to finals 
3. It was too stressful

Student Success Statement: Abraham Lincoln

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad."

I definitely agree with this because I am like this constantly. Whenever I do something I know I shouldn't do I always feel horrible right afterward. However when I do something good I feel that sense of accomplishment right afterward. For example there was a homeless woman that lived near my house. She couldn't get her cart filled with her belongings up the street so I decided to help her. She thanked me and even offered me money but I decided not to take it because she needed it more than me. An example of a bad is like when one time I screamed at my brother. He felt really hurt and started to cry. I felt really bad because I didn't know it would make him feel bad.

You Are in Charge

Student Success Statement: Mr. Haymore

"Take responsibility for your own body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being."

This quote means exactly what it says, being in charge of yourself. An example of being responsible for your body is knowing when to say no to someone who continues to make advances towards you. Taking responsibility for your mind can be making your own decisions and having your own ideas.  Being responsible for your spirit can be when you don't let people kill your vibe.

Student Success Statement: Richard L. Evans

"We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and the courage to stop what we shouldn't do."

I agree with this because people are usually afraid of doing these things. In a TV show called "What Would You Do" the main point is to show situations in which the public should step forward and stop bad deeds being done by actors. Most of the time people do not step forward but when they do they are interviewed. From these interviews you can see that all those who stepped forward are kind and brave people, willing to save those who need help the most. This is the type of courage needed to do something that should be done. An example of something we shouldn't do is anything people peer pressure you into. If you know it's wrong why even think about it.

The Sting of a Scorpian

One day a boy named Patrick, who was about seven, decided to not listen to his parents who had told him many times before that you must wear shoes when walking to avoid dangers such as scorpions thorns and snakes. Instead of putting on on shoes he put on flip flops because he thought it would be just as safe. As he walked around a trail he felt the sting similar to a thorn but when he looked down he saw a scorpion. He yelled for help and his parents took him to the hospital found out he would be fine. He thought he was going to die so after that day he never disregarded his parents again.

Student Success Statement: Mark Twain

"Always do right."

As short as this quote is it is a quote that people should apply to their lives. This quote means exactly what it says which is basically do what is correct. Twain, who is also known as the father of American literature, had summarized what most people explain in a paragraph length quote.
