Pop Project... Reflection~

Wow. I can't actually believe that I survived Pop 09. It feels great, like I just found a way to end war, or create renewable energy. I'm extremely proud of myself that I could walk into Ms. P's room and hand in that portfolio knowing that I tried my hardest.

And with this pride, came the memory of countless hours spent hunched over a computer, slowly typing out my ideas. I think that my back now as a permanent curve that will lead to osteoporosis when I'm older. But Time, was always the big thought on my mind. Enough time to finish work... to do homework... to eat...to sleep. If there's anything that Pop taught me, it's managing that time is the most important thing ever. I'm only fourteen, and I found it hard to juggle all these different activities, so what's college going to be like? I know i have to get my time management skills together if I'm going to survive the future.

It was good that we did Population Project, even if we whined and moaned about how much work we were going to do. I'll say it's good because it was a guided example of what school work in the future is going to be like. We had teachers every step of the way that taught us what to do, and how to do it. If there's one thing that I definitely got out of this project, it was simply the information how to put together a portfolio and what goes into it. Even if my management skills weren't THAT great, knowing the skills and resources to develop a research question and investigate it will remain invaluable.
