Senior project day 2!

MONDAY, MAY 9 2022. 7:18 pm. 

 Today was technically the first day of senior project! My day started off with a concentration meeting in the library with Heidi and Tom at 9 am. We reviewed our schedule, ate some Tuckers, and learned how to check out a book at the Proctor library! I found a great book resource for my paper, “Locking Up Our Own” by James Forman Jr. I read the book for around 30 minutes, while collecting quotes. I also worked more on my annotated bibliography. So from around 10:30-12:30 I worked on my paper, and definitely made progress and got some good edits in!





For the Admissions portion of my project, I gave a tour from around 1:30-2:40! I haven’t given a tour in a while, so I’m excited to get back into the swing of touring students, and learning more fundamental skills that the admissions office work will provide. 
From 7:30-9 I will be working on touching up my concentration, and reading more of the new book I found and seeing if I can add in some of the information to my paper! Overall, great first day!

My total hours today was 4 hours and 40 minutes, meaning that my total hours over the past two days is 6 hours and 10 minutes around.

SENIOR PROJECT DAY 9

Image
 TUESDAY, MAY 17 2022-10:21pm  Today was a rewarding day! I presented my slides to my sister Katherine from around 8:30-9:00 and then worked on reading through them myself for an hour. At 10:10 I went to culture and conflict and presented my slide. I was nervous at first, but I knew with Ellie’s edits I was prepared! My presentation was around 25 minutes, and I feel as though I conveyed the right amount of information, from such a large research paper, not too much, not too little for a class setting.  After that I read over my essay from 12:00-2:00 to give it final edits. I worked out and had a team dinner in the afternoon. From 7:30-10:00 pm I worked on my narrative reflection which is a set of different questions which provide me the space to reflect on all of my work and what I feel I have gained. Overall my hours today were 7 hours and 30 minutes, and my total is 48 hours and 30 minutes.

PROJECT PERIOD DAY 12

PROJECT PERIOD DAY 12-1:28 pm.  FRIDAY, MAY 20TH.  Hello! In the morning, I worked out and read 'Locking Up Our Own' for thirty minutes, for this book is relevant to what I studied in my concentration. Today myself and the other students working in admissions discussed Green key Leader applications, and read over all their applications. We also reviewed the admissions process (parent and student essays, a graded essay, teacher recommendations, and how the SSAT is optional). Alicia talked about how she liked how Proctor Admissions looks at the whole person, and is not just focused on test scores. Along with this, she said that teacher recommendations and the interview are huge. We also reviewed how to look over Neurophysiology evaluations.  My total hours for the day was two hours. So I am now at 54 hours!

Senior project: Day 3!

TUESDAY MAY 10, 2022, 8:48 PM.    Hi guys! Today was the third day of my senior project and everything went very smoothly! I started off the day at around 9 am in the library and worked in there with Cam and Katherine until around 11 o’clock when I took a break for lunch and then headed back for about an hour to the library before I went to admissions for a bit. That was about 3 hours.  At around 12:30 I went over to the admissions office to work with Alicia in getting a few things done. No tour today, but we focused on crafting an assembly announcement for Friday, and created a spreadsheet for those interested in being a part of the Green Key leader group for next year! I spent a solid hour there, and then went onto the rest of my day with a workout.  Before my game at 5, I worked in the library for 45 minutes making edits to my paper and adding some cites to my annotated bibliography:) Later on, around 8:45-9:00 pm I worked on adding some more cites to my bibliogra...
