1. In this assignment I had to come up with a plan for my senior project, I had to explain the process of my project and how it would help me reach my goal. My project plan was very easy to come up with. I have an IT internship and so I went with a project related to that field. The steps I took to complete this project were steps I had some background knowledge of, but this time I was to be the one completing every step. I only asked my mentor for help when I was stuck.
2. I learned that planning out a project makes the whole project easier. Instead of "winging" it I knew exactly what had to be done and when it had to be done; this made the project a lot easier. I learned that the more steps I had, and the more details I had in the plan, the easier the project was. For the final project I simply followed my plan, it made the project seem quicker and easier.
3. The plan took me about 1.5 hours to complete. It took so long because I went over every step in my head to make sure it would fit in with my project and provide valuable information when it came to completing my project. The 1.5 hours invested into this plan was well worth it.

Scholarship Application: October 7th 2013
1. For this assignment I had to fill out an application for a scholarship. It required me to know a lot of information about what I want to do when I git out of high school. It also required me to know about my family's income and that many people struggle financially; that I can't be upset that paying for college is something I can't do, because it is a fairly normal thing for kids my age.
2. I learned the importance of filling out an application early. Colleges cost a lot of money and the sooner I fill out applications, the more likely I will receive a scholarship to help me with my school expenses. I learned that there are many applications and opportunities out there to help me go to school; that way I don't feel stuck if I don't receive one specific application, I now know that I can always try another one.
3. This took me about an hour to finish. It took me this long because I needed information about the financial status of my family, which isn't something I know by heart. I also had to fill out a lot of information about myself and my plan after high school. Once again, I don't have all of this figured out, so it did take some thinking.

Digital Story: October 19th 2013
1. For my digital story I looked through pictures, thought about events in my life, and even reflected on myself. It was hard to pick what should be on the digital story because, being 17 years old, there was a lot of events or experiences I could of chosen. I decided to go with the events and experiences that I valued the most, or the ones that effected my life the most, ones with the most influence. In the end I was proud of the digital story I produced, and I had fun with the end product.
2. This project taught me organization skills. With all the information I wanted to put on the digital story, I had to organize it in a way that made sense but also to allow everything to fit on it. This project also taught me what truly means the most to me. The events and experiences that influenced who I am today.
3. This project took me a while, it was about 3 hours. It took so long because I had a lot of events and experiences to chose from, I spent most of my time planning the project out so I knew exactly what events and experiences I would use.
