I have never had a class where i was able to say what i thought my grade should be. With that being said, I want an A! No, but seriously with the crtieria that it takes to get a grade i think that i should receive a B or a C. This of course what i want but being honest with myself it is what i deserve if the work that i put forth is evaluated. My blogs were detailed and i blogged atleast a thousand words almost every week. Sometimes i just didn’t have that much to talk about and some blogs weren’t finished, both my fault i know. These blogs weren’t as easy al i thought they would be. It a little time to sit down and write a thousand words on one topic. After about seven hundred words or so you really have to think about what it was that you did and get that last three hundred words or so out. Then sometimes the one thousand pop up before you know it and you still have things to say. It seems that in the beginning the one thousand words were easiest to type because the blogs were based on you opinion and your feelings. Where as later on in the semester the blogs were based on your project and if you hadn’t been working that hard on it you wouldn’t have much to say or if what you had done didn’t take up one thousand words to explain, then you were up the creek and (excuse my french) shit out of luck. But it is down to the wire and i think all in all i had a pretty good project. Although it took almost to the end of the semester for anyone to notice, better late then never. I think that my project is one that will be going on for years to come if i work hard on it. I know that it is easy to say that but require miles and miles of work to put into action. I think with the interview that i have and the way that i anticipate it will go, you’ll be hearing about this project in the future. I don’t suppose that tomorrow i will get a letter from anyone recognizing my project and wanting to help but, i do think that if the guy that i have an interview with is intersted in my project he will beable to help me open up doors and get my ideas on the right levels and in the right circle of people. It doesn’t even seem like i am critiquing my project right now, because i don’t consider it done. I have millions upon millions of ideas to here and people to talk to. In the beginning i was like a lot of the students in my class who didn’t think that this was a real project that we had to do, but when i realized that it was i had a lot of revising to do. I think that my project had a double effect to it, because while i am trying to decrease the world’s dependency on technology i and trying to also decrease the amount of poverty in other countries. I think that one solution to a problem opens the door for other solutions to arise. Which is what i think will happen if we can manage the money in this country. Since our country is known for having a hand in everything, i think it will serve us some good to have a hand in saving lives in countries less fortunate then us and building up education in places less fortunate then us. I don’t want to change the way in which people live as far as their culture and heritage, but i do want to open doors for them so they can have the option to do better. I think my grade should be on the B/C level because i didn’t devote the amount of time that i could to this project. sometimes because i just didn’t have the time, i was tired or i really didn’t feel like it. I know that i should have yet again made the time, but i didn’t. Therefore, i don’t think that i should get an A, although i do want one. When i was writing my blog for my accomplishments i talked about how people would ask me how i felt going against the norm and standing out with my project. I had to say that i don’t feel weird at all, because everyone won’t have the same opinion or ideas, which is fine with me. At the time i strongly agreed with that fact, but now i kind of feel that it is a little scary to think of how people will look at me and how people who don’t know me at all or know that this started out as a school project will respond to me when i as them about how they feel one the issue. i have been hung up on and told that i had no business questioning the government or our leaders, but i feel that as a citizen i have every right to just that. But back to my grade.
All of my blogs weren’t one thousand words and all of them weren’t on time, but i put my all into them. I don’t know how to grade a report like that but i guess that is a C, because it sounds average. I don’t really think that i can give my project an adequate grade because it isn’t yet finished. My project is on going as said, therfore this analysis isn’t a final one it is only about what i have gotten down on campus and evidence of what i have blogged which kind of sucks because i have so many plans. I think that my project is broad on a since because it has the ability to compromise and change as new evidence is added and time goes on. I think that it has the ability to be teamed with something else if necessary that way other people can work with the project as well. In all i think that my project incredible potential.
