With my capstone paper complete I would like to say that I can stop now. But really I cannot. I am not going to get off of this topic for a while because I like it and I want to continue doing this the rest of my life. I will still be going to volunteer at Children's even though my official research is done. I will still be learning about all of the ins and outs of physical therapy and psychology. I will still attend my psychology class and continue to learn and apply what I learn. I will still be interested in this topic because I truly enjoy it. I hope to be a physical therapist someday and this project has just been my launch pad not my entire flight.
Though this is still a process, it was also the beginning of the end. This is the big paper that says "I am a senior and I am done!" We still have a few more weeks, but it is all wrapping up. I still have AP exams and lots of tests and other work. But I also have about 20 days left! It is exciting to have this chapter close and have another open. Even though I still don't know where my next chapter is (which is really annoying- I want to know where I am going to college) it is still exciting to move on from high school and become more independent.
When looking back on this project, I realize how this project is not like a college paper. There was very little independence in the writing process. We had to have mandatory checks and blog posts and meetings with our teacher. We could not just use our time for our project, we had to do class assignments and has to pause way more than I needed to "reflect" on what we did. Though the stuff we had to "reflect" on was nothing because we did not have time in class to be able to be immersed in our research. To me there were more road blocks than helpful avenues. I think that this paper should be more independent and treat us like the 18-year-olds we are, not the little children we are treated like.
