Personal Narrative: My Captone Project

Zac became ill as the building phase began, leaving me to do my best without him. At first, it was difficult, but building became much smoother as time went on. Time was not on our side, but we cranked it out and got the job done. I crafted the majority of the machine, including the simple machines in them. The spiral, mousetrap, gear, tubing, car, zip ties, cardboard, wood, pegboard, dowel rods, and hot glue were all provided by me.

My project was to build three park benches for the Pets Alive dog walk area. This is where volunteers can walk the dogs and give them much needed out of kennel time. The volunteers/dog walkers can now sit and rest on the benches that me and my crew built and enjoy a more leisurely experience outside with the dogs.

In the beginning, I was frustrated and puzzled about what I was going to do as my project because no good ideas came to mind. On the day we wrote down what we planned on

African American female adolescence (who live in urban areas) compared to female caucasion female adolescence (who live in suburban areas) have a lot of differences amongst themselves. Among adults and children has increased dramatically in the past 20 years to reach epidemic proportions, and health care costs of excessive weight are estimated at more than $98 billion a year. In a previous study investigating risk factors for cardiovascular disease in a poor, rural county in Tennessee, the authors found that morbid African American female adolescence (who live in urban area) compared to caucasion female adolescence (who live in suburban areas was 6 times more common in urban African-American female adolescents than men, particularly

Welcome to science: where projects start smooth only to become more complex and exciting from there. Coming up with a senior capstone project proved to be quite a challenge. After months of vacillating between topics I finally settled on water quality. At this point I assumed my decisions were over with, I could not have been more wrong. As it turns out, interdisciplinary education happens to be the truest simulation of real world experiences in the job force. Moreover, it is imperative to learn in a manner that mirrors that of real life.

The project had a focus on puppies and puppy training. The project was for the Guide Dogs of Texas Organization. My project involved two phases. Cabinets for laundry room storage and puppy training agility equipment. The first phase was straightforward and done without much hassle. The Guide Dogs of Texas had a need for laundry storage to help with their newly formed workload coming from their upcoming litter of puppies. The cabinets would serve to greatly reduce the efforts required from having to provide the puppies with new sheets at least three times a day. The second phase was a little more complex. My project coach and I came up with the idea of constructing agility equipment to help train the puppies into becoming guide dogs. The equipment that ended up being chosen were a teeter-totter, a set of weave poles, and a ladder. The agility equipment for the puppies would be made out of PVC piping and would be beneficial in training the puppies in

The project was an embodiment of my service to the community that served me years before and made me into the person I am today. Service is something that everyone should feel

I believe the art institute of Hollywood will help me improve my current skills and attain my idea job. My career goal is to become a multimedia and animation artist, because I enjoy using more than one style of medium. I have done research for jobs that circle around this profession, and I have come to the understanding that I first need to obtain a bachelor's degree of arts. My plan is work hard and sharpen my skills, so I can improve as I take the courses required to reach my goal.

I have been in the Marine Corps for roughly three and a half years and throughout that time I have done many things. Most of the things that I have done were with Combat Logistics Battalion 26. For three years, I worked with that unit through work ups and a deployment and I have seen and done many unique things. However, nothing I did with CLB 26 felt fulfilling, but that all changed when I changed units to CLB 8.

Many critics, including Chinua Achebe in his essay "An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad's Heart of Darkness", have made the claim that Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness, despite the insights which it offers into the human condition, ought to be removed from the canon of Western literature. This claim is based on the supposition that the novel is racist, more so than other novels of its time. While it can be read in this way, it is possible to look under the surface and create an interpretation of Conrad's novel that does not require the supposition of extreme racism on the part of Conrad. Furthermore, we must keep in mind that Conrad was a product of a rather racist period in history, and

Growing up with a father in the military, you move around a lot more than you would like to. I was born just east of St. Louis in a city called Shiloh in Illinois. When I was two years old my dad got the assignment to move to Hawaii. We spent seven great years in Hawaii, we had one of the greatest churches I have ever been to name New Hope. New Hope was a lot like Olivet's atmosphere, the people were always friendly and there always something to keep someone busy. I used to dance at church, I did hip-hop and interpretive dance, but you could never tell that from the way I look now.

Senior project is about doing something that you’ve always wanted to do but you’ve never had the time to do it. Some people choose to learn an instrument or build something, maybe even try a vegan lifestyle. My project, at first, was about making the perfect fitting dress but then my mom become more obsessed with it than I did and I quit that project. Then, I decided to do a project that I was really crazy about. I already watched tons of YouTube videos about various makeup looks. However, instead of just doing makeup on myself I decided that I needed to challenge myself and do other people’s makeup. Before this project I had never done makeup on someone else's makeup and I learned a lot about myself and my beautiful friends. I also learned

I have done many projects the previous year and some this year so far in Ms. Moore’s class about STEM. I have always gotten excited and have fun making projects that deal with STEM and drawing/sketching/drafting, and building. Like I said before, I made a bottle rocket last year with my team members and it was fun. I also made a bridge made out of k'nex pieces, we made a windmill, and etc., but we didn’t do a mouse trap car, which I was really looking forward to,

Life really doesn't like to tell you what's ahead; sometimes it's nice and gives you a little hint, sometimes life replays itself so at least there's some familiarity in it, but most of the time my life seems out of my control. As a fifteen year old many people would hear me say this and scoff saying I don't have 'real' problems, or I don't know what the 'real' world is like. On one hand they're right, I shouldn't know what the 'real' world is like, most fifteen year olds are thinking about what picture they Instagram is a 'real' world problem. But being the not-so-average teenager, I do know what this so called 'real' world is.

The theme of the project was to bring forth an idea which could prove to be helpful in today’s world and bring it to completion once the idea was approved. My first instinct was to develop a solution for people who are physically impaired and could use my invention to complete day to day tasks more seamlessly. I was very enthusiastic about my idea and thankfully our course instructor was too and gave us a go ahead on the project. However we were at first more inclined towards developing a robotics related project and a vacuum cleaning automaton such as the famous Roomba® but another group had already taken this idea a few step further so we dropped our initiative out of professional and friendly courtesy.
