E-FOLIO MEMOIRS

OBJECTIVE: Congratulations, YOU’RE DONE WITH THE FREAKING SENIOR PROJECT! Summarize your Senior Project
experience by reflecting on your entire process and writing a memoir on your journey.

You will be graded on the following requirements:

■ What were the best and worst parts of the Senior Project/Senior Seminar?
The best part of my senior project was operating the skid steer. The worst part of the project was
placing the stone slabs and making sure they were level. Also making up the time after work to
start the project.
■ List three things you now know after completing your Senior Project.
I know how to run a skid steer.

I know how to rake and make sand/dirt level.

I know how to use a level.

■ Which aspect of the Senior Project/Senior Seminar stretched you the most? How did you feel about and react to
this challenge?
Building the pool and setting it up was easily the biggest reach for me. It was very frustrating
setting it up because it took us a long time to do so.
■ How has the Senior Project/Senior Seminar changed you (skills, attitudes, work habits, capabilities, confidence,
poise, presentation, etc.)?
I feel a lot more confident in my work and in asking questions. I had a lot of questions.
■ Has this experience influenced your future plans?
This experience has influenced me in a lot of ways. I enjoyed using the skid steer and also enjoyed
tearing up the rocks and debris from where I was going to put the pool.
■ What would you do differently if you had to do the whole Senior Project/Senior Seminar process again?
I probably would have only built the pool and put the rocks in because that in itself took over 15
hours.
■ What advice do you have for next year’s seniors?
I would say do something you like doing or are very interested in doing.
■ What grade would you give yourself for your Senior Project and what justification do you have for that grade?

I would give myself an A because I had worked hard on it. I put in a lot of effort and a lot of time
after work in order to get it done.
