For this project, we researched our intended career path and calculate how our finances would look coming out of college. It was really helpful knowing how much you are going to spend on necessities and much you’ll have to spend on wants. I found it really valuable because it gave you something to look at and really laid everything out. Everyone tells you what to expect but this helps you understand it better, however, I would have liked to know more about money saving techniques. I was surprised at how quickly everything added up, it doesn't seem like a lot at first and you really don't know where you stand until you add everything up. I was surprised I ended up having more than enough money to through the month, which surprised me because my starting salary didn’t seem very high. This project used my Financial, Economic and Business Literacy skills, which was really helpful in understanding personal finances and learning how to conserve money. It helps to show how all the $20 things add up every month.

For this project we used different types of equations to graph and create a roller coaster. The roller coaster needed to be survivable with a pretty backdrop and there need to be at least one of each type of line (linear, cubic, etc..). This project used my thinking and problem solving skills. There were a lot of little things to figure out along the way and it was difficult to adjust certain types of lines. I used a lot of trial and error to place them and learn which components moved what. I'm most proud of the roller coaster itself. I originally thought I needed each type of line on the roller coaster and didn't realize until I had finished that they could have been on the background too, so I ended up doing way more than I needed. If I redid this project I would definitely want to read the instruction more closely so as not to create more work for myself on an already tight deadline. I don't think there are many real life applications of this but it certainly helped with my thinking and problem solving abilities and self-directional skills.

The yearbook is all about documenting our 2021-2022 high school experience. Portraits, classes, field trips, clubs, sports, everything we did this year. This project worked my interpersonal skills from designing the pages with other people to tracking down and getting the last of the photos taken. I'm really proud of just getting the yearbook done on time. There were really only four of working on it, including Ms. Getzen, and we were working on it right up to the deadline. Next year I definitely think we should get the layouts for the pages all set up even if we don't have the photos yet. There wasn't a lot to do in the beginning of the year and we spent most of our time playing around with the website to figure it out, which was helpful but we could have been more productive with it. Having done this already will really help me next year and I'm really glad I worked on it.

For this project we created a slideshow comparing the Hubble and James Webb telescopes. We had to research different components of each telescope, focusing on what type of data each telescope collects and how that data is collected. This assignment addressed my self-directional skills. I had a lot of time to work on this assignment in class, but there's always a lot going on and it's hard to stay focused. I ended up going more in depth than I needed to and had to finish the little details the night before. I'm most proud of how all the slides turned out. There was a lot of information and it was difficult to organize it in a presentable way. If I redid this project I would probably include more statistics about the telescopes, I mainly just explained the functions, not necessarily the data. We've been learning about light and mirrors a lot and this project was to help us understand the real life applications of it. In the future, this will help me understand the telescopes and the advancements they make.
