AP Capstone Class Reflection

Creativity, headaches, research, more headaches, and nervous breakdowns are kind words to describe my year round inside an AP Capstone classroom. Without a doubt, the class was one of a kind compared to any other classroom. Before I get into all the action I have to start from the bottom where it all started. It was a sunny summer day when I received a phone call from Ms. Puentes explaining to me what this class would be about. Based on what she said it convinced me to take the challenge.

Future advice for future capstone students is to have patience and be ready to work as soon as you sit on the desk. If you are interested in the topic you are doing you will love this class. One last thing, ask your pals about the big three. Oh yeah, and
