Senior Project Reflection

Senior project was quite the journey. I had ups and I had downs. To say the least, It was a rollercoaster. There was so much tedious work that I had to complete that stressed me out. On top of that, I am really really good at procrastinating my work. Alas, here I am, the day the portfolio is due, writing this reflection. This is definitely something I need to work on for my future in college. However, this project has helped me out in ways I could never have imagined.
The things I have learned during senior project is amazing. I was very hesitant to do my project on the evolution of the drum kit because I already knew a lot of information, and I wanted to learn something new. In fact, I chose this topic as a last resort.

This is in a way a blessing and a curse. It is good to know that I can work quickly, but it is also bad to know because it may feed into my procrastination issue. I will work to make sure that does not happen. On top of that, I learned that I can use decent organization skills. The two portfolios I had to make forced me to get organized. To say the least, I was successful, and I am happy with where I am
