The Roller Coaster Experiance

Turn your wounds into wisdom

~Oprah Winfrey

My academic path was both culminated and sparked by the capstone project, which acted as a link between theoretical understanding and practical application. I’m feeling a wide range of feelings as I think back on the experience, including pride in my achievements, thankfulness for the advice I received, and a sense of pleasure from seeing my ideas come to pass.

The capstone required a combination of critical thinking and creativity from the beginning. It required me to research my selected topic in-depth, to identify urgent problems, and to come up with creative solutions. This was not an easy procedure; it required tenacity, flexibility, and a readiness to face obstacles head-on. But it was by conquering these challenges that I actually developed as a scholar. 

Overall, I think that not many people are interested in this project and everyone in the grade is slightly pessimistic about this project, and I don’t blame them because, in my opinion, I think just regular classes would be better, but it’s only the beginning, and I’m sure that my opinion will change as times goes on.
