Senior Presentation

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?

I am most proud of meeting the time required to pass but also teaching everything in a way that is understandable to anyone who doesn't workout. I feel like I did well with referencing my sources throughout the presentation. If my audience noticed that I kept referencing these book sources then I hope they look into reading those books after hearing throughout the presentation. 

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?

Choosing my research wisely and keeping track of each of my sources really did help me during my senior presentation. So doing research checks did work for me. Also doing the lesson 2 and lesson 1 presentations helped prepare me for my final presentation.

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?

I would've done better on my lesson 2 presentation. Knowing that I got an AP only made me work harder so that I could get a better grade for my final presentation. 

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.

In my opinion, I think that this whole set up of preparing for something really big did help with getting over my fears. After presenting today i feel like in the future when i have to present in front of an audience ill feel more comfortable doing so. Just doing this whole senior topic and presenting on your own is just something I would have never had thought I would accomplish coming in freshman year. I thank I-Poly for creating the individual I am today. 

Mentorship

Literal : 

Robert Maldonado - Spartan Fitness/ 24 Hour Fitness

Interpretive:  

The most important thing I gained from this experience is really knowing how to properly train others. Having the right equipment and knowing how to use this equipment is key to gaining muscle mass. I was taught many new workouts that trained all the muscle groups. I feel like i learned more of the training factor from my mentor rather than nutrition or supplements. 

Applied: 

Training almost every day throughout the week did help with learning lots of new things to help me answer my EQ.  My mentor has helped with training in the gym to cooking food at his house learning the types of food he eats. There was a time where I kept training hard and gave it my all in the gym and kept my nutrition on point as well but still noticed no gains for about 2 weeks. I told my mentor and thats when we started to change our routines in the gym every time ever since this problem. Changing up the routine did help a lot and it made it more different every time I went to the gym. Its important to get all the energy you need in the gym and changing the routine will sometimes make it fun going to the gym instead of having the same workouts every time.  Learning many things like this with my mentor only made us stronger in the gym and our knowledge with muscle mass increase.
