Research paper is a big paper on the topic that we would like to dive deeper into learning about. It's an intensive research based paper that in the end forms this big research paper. It was very easy for me to want to work on this capstone. I already knew what I wanted to do for a topic: body image, which made it much easier for me to finish it. Having Kevin give templates for how the essay was going to be formatted made it simpler for me to put it together. The majority of my time was finding the research and trying to figure out to format the essay.

This is a personal essay that I was told to write in my 9th grade English class. It was about something that had impacted us a lot and meant something to us.

The choice of doing an essay or a little poster on the information. A topic about controversial foods. This shows that I have used the information correctly and proven the point that was talked about.
I believe I've grown or stayed the same. I used to just write my notes by hand, I've started to write my notes on the computer and I now do both ways for writing notes. I've used many different forms of ways to communicate with others to get an interview or to even do an interview. I have never used Google meets before, I didn't even know that it was a thing till my senior year. I've used Instagram to communicate with people, my own personal email: through AOL, and through zoom. There has been times when communication with other people can be hard, I've had to deal with other time zones as well as a persons busy schedule.
