Honestly, this week has been amazing. Everything went my way this week. I was extremely productive in Capstone. I finished writing my first draft of my conclusion. I edited my discussion and my methods. I updated my bibliography. I even found some time to relax today. I passed my ECE Calculus test, which I thought would be very hard. I actually did very well. I was only stuck on one question. These past two weeks, I feel like I practiced productivity the most, because I had a lot of things to complete, and somehow I managed to do so. In order to submit my paper on time, I just have to finish editing everything and put everything into one document. I want to also edit my website and update it a little. I feel like I can definitely get a better grade than I did on my last website draft. I also want to start thinking of my presentation and my poster. For my presentation, I plan on using slides from my previous presentations. Many of them are in different formats, so I will make everything one format. After, if I need to add anything, I can. I will also need to look at the time. I need it to be under 20 minutes (I think-this needs to be confirmed by Ms. Crudale). I hope that I will be able to relax over Christmas break because God knows I deserve it. I want to finish my work so I don't have to do anything over winter break.
Now that my project is coming to an end, I feel optimistic. I feel like I'm in a good position to pass the classand to get my work done. While I would have wanted to actually finish and complete my project, I did really well considering the circumstances. I did plenty of high-end research. I read a bunch of scholarly articles and was ale to articulate my research in my paper. I was able to do so much with what I had and to be honest, I am actually proud of myself. It wasn't easy, but I did it. This is something I can build on in college. Which brings me to the best thing that happened this week: I GOT INTO JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY! Yes, that's right, you are looking at Johns Hopkins University Class of 2023 member. I am so happy. I think that mentioning my experience in research and laboratory skills, with previous science fairs and this capstone project, really made me stand out. Although I didn't get into the program I wanted (biomedical engineering), I can still pursue my second option, Chemical and Bio-molecular engineering. I can also do a pre-health track and participate in research in the city. I am so happy and proud of myself. I was so nervous, because this has been my dream school for as long as I can remember. But the joy I felt when I learned I got in is indescribable. I have gone farther than I ever thought possible. I am so proud of how far I have come and I genuinely believe in myself for the future. I am so excited for what's to come!
