A Reflection Of The Project As a Whole:
A look into the future:
- This project was based on working on our overall debating skills. The main focus to this project was
http://priceonomics.com/are-salary-caps-for-professional-athletes-fair/
- As I was working harder on this project, more and more drafts were multiplying. Due to this, I was making many changes every single day. For example, from my 1st draft to my 2nd draft I changed my main theme of my MUN paper that I was bringing with me to USD.
- Two helpful pieces of critique in this project was:
- One: Change of theme due to not making sense to the problems occurring at the time. The reason for this being a helpful critique was due to it really changing the perspective of this project.The person who gave me this critique was Nick Joseph.
- Two: Another critique that really did help out my project was my title page of my MUN packet. I really did not have a good title page and it really did help me out to have a nice professional one. The person who gave me this critique was Savreen.
A Reflection Of The Project As a Whole:
- I am very proud of this project due to getting second place out of the whole team on the MUN conference day at USD. The reason for feeling great about this project was due to the amount of work that I did and felt so good about. I really did put a lot of effort in every single project that I completed. One thing that I really did master in this project was my public presenting skills. Presenting skills was something that I was always very scared about, and now I really am not scared about it.
A look into the future:
- If I were to do this project again, the only think I would wish for to happen is for the USD conference to have more people than just our class. The reason for this is it would make the stress level way higher and it would cause people to work harder. All in all the project went very well and I really would not want much to change at all.

A Reflection Of The Project As a Whole:
A look into the future:
- In this project we mainly focused on one main issue which mine was the crisis going on in Syria. We did lots of research on the country we are supporting and the countries around us. What this did was got us ready to support the country that we were representing.

- While reading more and more on this topic is caused me to want to know more and more about the issue in the country I was working on which was Syria. Due to this, what this link did for me was really did help me out to pin point the main issues going on in Syria at the time.
- What I did to find this link was I looked up "what is happening in Syria?" Through that I did lots of research through all of the links and this was the best link to really give the best links and supporting evidence.
- An interesting piece of information that I learned from this link was that more that 18 million Syrians live in the poor country. What made this showed me is the people who live in these countries really are passionate about where they have grown up.

What Could Have Been Improved Work Wise:
A Reflection Of The Project As a Whole:
A look into the future:
- The Immigration Short Stories was a long project integrated into our Spanish class. From this what we did was learned about all of the Latin America countries for a month, in our Spanish class. Then what we did was we learned creative writing skills, as time went on in our project. What we did then was we got to pick a country and a group that worked best for us.
- As time went on, we spent several of hours in class and at home writing our 3,000 word story. We had a few weeks to write this story, and it truly was a challenging thing to accomplish. I managed to finish a great story, which was published into the book.

- As time went on in this project, I was having a hard time finding stuff on Honduras. Due to this I really did fid an NPR link that helped me out as a whole.
- What I did to find this link was I looked up "What is going on in Honduras right now?" From this I found lots of issues going on at the time and it really did help my story out due to being about to integrate lots of main problems going on at the time of my story which was 2000.
- An interesting piece of information that I learned from this link was lots of police corruption is going on in the country. The reason for this being so interesting to me was due to growing up in the US where you don't hear about this too much.
What Could Have Been Improved Work Wise:
- As time was going on, the critique portion of this project was a huge thing for other people. I really wish that I could of gotten more critique on my story, due to being a chief editor. I had to spend a lot of time on other peoples stories rather than working on making my story better at the time.
- One thing that could of been helpful is to get really any sort of critique rather than just Matt Patrick's critique. One thing that really did help me in the critique process was Matt told me to change the structure of my story and I did, which really did help it out as a whole story. It really did change that amount of thought that went into my story, making it truly a great story.
A Reflection Of The Project As a Whole:
- I am very proud of the outcome of my project, especially due to being a chief editor. All in all I really did spend a lot of time on my story, but I wish I could have spent more time on the project. The reason for this is I was spending a lot of time on other peoples stories, rather than my story. I really did get a lot of personal skills and writing skills out of this project, which really is going to help me out in the future.
A look into the future:
- If I were to do this project again, the only think I would wish for to happen is for the chief editors to have a bit more time to work on their stories. The reason for this is me not being able to spend much time on my story. All in all I also wish that the exhibition was at a time in the day that parents could come due to being in the middle of the day when everyone is working to provide money to the family.

A Reflection Of The Project As a Whole:
A look into the future:
- The change maker project was a project based on researching a topic in sports that we are very interested in. What made this project such an interesting project was due to the humanities/math combination involvement.
- Through this, we did some thinking on why this was relevant and integrated math into the project. How we did this was, we researched a lot about Sammy Sosa and got all of the facts that we needed for the entire project. From there we made lots of graphs on our math time, and wrote a long paper on Sammy Sosa.

- As time went on in this project, trying to find good links that would help out a lot was kind of hard. From this we found this link which really did help us out to complete the project.
- What I did to find this link was I looked up "Who is Sammy Sosa?" We then took lots of notes on this webpage and I kept the link in my head to this day. Sammy Sosa has always been someone I think about in sports and that is the reason why I was so passionate about this with him integrated.
- An interesting piece of information that I found out through this link was that Sammy Sosa was already accused of trying to cheat in the sport for example the corking bat incident once before he got caught.
What Could Have Been Improved Work Wise:
- My group mates in this project worked very well with me but when it came down to the math portion it really did not work out that well. One thing I would wish for in this project is for the math to be more improved because of it kind of being left behind after everything was done. Also the math we had to use was not integrated to the math that we were doing at the time which really would help me out.
- I really am proud of the things that came out of this project, it really was a learning experience to me. I really wish that people in this class could have all experienced what I experienced due to them all just complaining about the project.
A Reflection Of The Project As a Whole:
- This project was truly a success, it was a learning experience to everyone on the entire team. As time went on, I realized what I wanted to research through baseball. Due to this, I picked Sammy Sosa who corked a bat and became very famous for what he did. I am very glad that I picked the athlete that I picked due to learning about something that I am passionate about.
A look into the future:
- If I were to do this project again, I would really wish that we had a bit more time. All in all this project seemed like it was a little bit rushed, and if it was not really rushed we could have made a way better outcome. Yes my outcome from the project was very good, but the only reason for that is from my great time management skills.
