Senior Project Reflection

1. In my senior project I couldn't be more proud of myself that I was successful in finding different meaningful answers for my essential question , which was my goal. B) I'd give myself a P I learned so much that I'm going to take with me to my new girl scout troop. With my research in my service learning all the books and articles I read, I really dug in deep and found different ways to help girls build self esteem and it really helped me during my 2 hour presentation , giving me the ability to interact with the group. I used my own research and build up a healthy self esteem for myself and was able to give a very good presentation. Nine months of research along with my independent component one and two, service learning, and interviews taught me that every girls different but at the end of the day we all come together as one and are alike in many ways. Again with my research and experience I will take it to my girl scout troop that I will be starting , to Share my experience with young girls. 2.For my 2 hour presentation I was extremely proud of myself that I got through it all. As well as getting to teach what I wanted to teach my way and everything went perfect and ran smoothly. A) I'd give myself an AE for my presentation. I had never been more proud of myself in my four years at ipoly high school. I did it all on my own, 9 months of research really helped me get through every second of my presentation. I stood up tall, talked with confidence, made eye contact, met 35 minutes of talking time, had creative activities, along with a creative wall set up. I engaged my audience and made really made them feel what I was talking about. I have clear understanding of my three answers and made my audience feel welcomed as if I were talking to them personally. I couldn't be more proud of myself and with that I am strongly asking for an AE. 3. What worked was my service learning , even though I didn't get to 50 hours , I learned so much with Debbie Head. She taught me what she's learned over the past 18 years being a girl scout troop leader. She gave me books to read, articles to read, videos to watch and really expanded my knowledge for out self esteem in teenage girls. 4. What didn't work was telling the students to sit where they wanted to sit, I wanted them to feel comfortable but they were too comfortable. I had a few groups talking with Eachother, so that didn't work. 5. My goal was to find different answers for my essential question, that were meaningful to every girl. I found those answers and made them work with my activities. After my whole experience I'm taking it to the next closest level , which is finding girls for my own girl scout troop. I want to take all my knowledge about self esteem in teenage girls and teach young girls how to build their self esteem.

Answer #3

- What is the best way to help teenage girls build self esteem?

- Surround yourself with supportive and positive people, so they make you feel better about yourself not low of yourself.

: surrounding yourself with positive people is always better than people who always have negative comments. Negative comments about themselves or yourself doesn't help you feel great about yourself.

: Supportive people as in family or friends help you gain confidence and believe in yourself.

: Having positive people around a girl at a young age help them grow easier and happier. The more positive they feel the healthier their self esteem is.

Room creavity

1) my idea at the moment is to cover the room in black posters and mirros to have a dark effect. I want one one my activities to be a post it activity which consists of the girls writing down any rude comments anyone has ever said to them. Then they will get up and cover the black posters . It will be a sign of letting go all the negatiives and leaving them in the past. Another activity will be having mirrors and each girl will go up and look in the mirror and write down on a posit things they don't love about themselves and post them on the wall as well. Filling the wall with tnegative feelings that they will leave on the black wall.

Answer 2

EQ: What is the best way to help teenage girls build self esteem? Self esteem meaning the pride you have in your self, and how you feel about yourself. Answer 2: Learning how to dance in a way that makes you feel the most content. Evidence : 1. Dance helps younger girls feel good about themselves because they are accomplishing something or Improving their self confidence. 2. Accomplishing a new physical activity such as dancing is important growing up, but your opionion about the way you dance is most important. Not the way others feel about how you dance. 3. In order to have high self confidence you need to care about your opionion and no one else's. If you feel good about the way you dance, that is all that matters.

Answer #1

1. My Essential Question is What is the best way to help teenage girls build self esteem? My first answer will be " changing the attitude you have toward yourself as a person". Meaning if you feel your Worthless or something to that negativity , change your game strategy with the way you feel about yourself. Take the time to find things you love and enjoy about yourself. Take the time to find your strengths and make your weaknesses your strengths. 2. Say a girl thinks she's fat or ugly or any nonsense such as that. She would stop putting her self down and work on her self esteem. She could exercise such as running or dancing. Write down things she loves and dislikes about herself and work on her dislikes. Taking the time to appreciate your positives and not Oxus on what you think are the negatives . 3. The place where I find the most evidence is with my independent component "Song". The girls came in as okay dancers and after a few short weeks , working with them and not giving up on them helped them grow into better dancers. You see when a girl can dance shes not afraid to be herself on the dance floor, when your dancing you put your own personality into it to make it you. As well as learning how to dance, I teach the girls to say positive things, instead of saying " I can't, I suck, it's hard, I'm ugly" any nonsense like that I give them ways to positivity , taking those words out of their vocabulary. Having a positive role model , helps a girl grow better. When you see someone with talent or a good self esteem , you look foward to working with that person. Every little thing counts.

Presentation Reflection

1. My interview with Atiana Price , was a huge help with my first presentation. She gave me very specific and detailed answers. For example, I asked her what her opinion was on parents being responsible for their child's self esteem. She told me that it is most important for a parent to help with a growing girls self esteem because if you don't young girls are lost in the world. Meaning they don't know who they are and they don't know who to be. When they just need to be their selves.

2. Well I asked the class what they thought about girls being conceited and if that meant that they have low self esteem. Most of the class agreed, And it made sense why they did, my opinion was it could go either way. Girls can be full of themselves and truly love themselves or be full of themselves because they really don't love their self. It just depends on the girl.

3. Well I thought the time was going to be most challenging but turns out it was making sure the class understood what I was trying to teach. Mainly because I'm sure the guys weren't interested ,but I tried to keep themas involved in the questions as I could.
