Where have you used these skills?
Reflect on your completion of the power assessment (LTI/Apprenticing).
How have you grown in this domain over time? Use stories/examples from your internships and community based learning experiences.
Informed and integrating thinking to me has always been using different sources, thinking with your mind to get the information that is needed. Using technology to enhance the knowledge and support that you have.
When COVID hit I was later told that we no longer needed to do internships because of how hard it would be to see people. It was one of the reasons that I originally joined big picture in the first place. In order for me to even start going to internships I needed to complete three interviews, three shadow days, and 10 hours of community service. I finished all the interviews. I only got to doing two of the shadow days. I have only completed a certain amount of community hours.
I have always loved ancient Egypt, I wanted to do a project that was based off of the topics that I loved the most. The majority of this project was research. I used books and the internet for my research that was used. I wanted to find a primary source that specialized in medicine during ancient times, but I was not successful with finding someone very specific. I went to a person who uses medicinal herbs.
Barbering was a project that I did about wanting to learn how barbers shave people. The primary source is Christopher, he is a barber and the owner. The informational interview with him helped me to gather more information on giving my final product.
The bonding project was the biggest science project that I have had in awhile. We needed to make a video of an atom and a molecule becoming stable. We needed to show why they were changing and how they became stable. We needed to show the knowledge that we already learned and use that to form an animation.
I believe with time I've gotten better at writing down things. After my shadow day I had to write about everything that happened to prove that it happened. When I learned that, It was a couple of days later so I had to remember certain things that had happened. It was such an amazing experience that there wasn't really anything that I forgot, on the other hand there was a different experience with La Bella Derma. The experience wasn't as thrilling as I thought it was going to be but I still enjoyed it. It was another situation were I did the paper a little bit after I went to do the shadow, so I needed to remember.
