2/20 Project Blog

I learned many things from this assignment. I learn more about ecologies and that I am a part of many different ecologies. Although that is good information to know, that is not the main things that this project taught me. Going into this project, I was very nervous. It was about a topic that I did not really understand and the project itself was something that I had never done before. I have never made a mind map before so it was a learning experience. I have always been a pretty smart kid. I’m not the smartest, but I can hold my own. Usually, when I have a project or a paper to write, I don’t worry about it that much. This project was a different story. Because I didn’t know what I was doing, I asked a lot of questions. I eventually got a good idea of what to do and got the project done. This assignment taught me that I shouldn’t stress myself out when I am doing something new. It is not hard to ask questions and figure out what has to be done and how it can be done. It was also nice to see that many other people felt the same way that I did while doing the first draft of this project. To prepare for Project 2, and other projects in general, I should make sure that I know what I am doing first. For this project, I just read over the directions once and tried to dive right into it. This was a very bad idea. It left me confused which eventually lead to me becoming very stressed out. Before diving into project 2, I need to make sure that I fully understand what I am getting into. If I don’t understand, then I need to ask questions. I also don’t need to stress out so much about my first draft because there is only room for improvement from there.
