Last Week

For the last weeks we have been doing citations and getting help from seniors and alot of outside influence on our projects. I really like the idea of having citations so you can go back and use these websites for references. I really do not like blogging my progress or blogging about my work because at the last minute of class it seems rushed and I dont like rushing.
My thoughts about these previous weeks is it was alot of work and I dont like the fact that we should blog everyday it is frustrating.

Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence kills over 800,000 woman each year and that doesn't even count the amount of children that die from domestic violence.

Domestic Violence is an ongoing process that you can develop or be taught, this process needs to be stoped. In doing this Graduation Project I do not expect to stop domestic violence but I do expect to let people know what excactly is going on in the world and how thousands of people die from this.

In graduation project class we had to create a poster dealing with our project, this is mine.

Senior Advice

Yesterday a group of seniors spoke to us about our graduation project. The advice that they gave to us was very helpful and it help me come to a desicion. My project ideas were well thought up and had alot of research behind it but one did not work out as a project and the other one was alot simular to another project that is being done our class. Those two projects are :
  • African American Woman in the field of Engineering
  • Racism in the Judicial System

These projects when looked at thoroughly did not meet the standards of this project so I will continue to work on the last topic which is:

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Intrest Inventory

We have recently completed our intrest inventory. The inventory is to help you figure out what projects you are interested in, so you can get started quickly. In doing this project I have found that I am interested in another topic which is: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

I feel that domestic violence is a very big issue in today's society because so many children are bieng affected by it. Some of them are forced to live in shelters, homless or even worse they are dead., So I would love to do a project that benifits children that needs help.

Another interesting topic that I had was The Influence that the Media has on America's youth. This topic is a pressing issue because what you see is what you get and if you see negativity you might end up being negative.


Some of my project ideas are very well but I just can't think of a project that will fit the topic and I would say that is what I am worried about and need to find out what I am going to do soon.
