Throughout my capstone project, i used creativity and communication alot. I had to use alot of communication to interact with the kids because my project was youth mentoring, so i had to talk alot with alot of kids. I had to use creativity in order to communicate with the kids. I did creative things like making up fun games so i can interact with kids and get to know them better. And when it became fun for the kids, it got easier for me to communicate with them.
My Capstone project allowed me to gain some experience working with the kids. It gave me some knowledge and experience for my future career which is youth mentoring. It was because of this project that i finally learned what i wanted to be my career which is youth mentoring. Intellectually, i learned how to interact with kids of a younger age. I learned that not all are going to be on the same level of maturity as i, so i had to start thinking like a middle school kid in order to talk to them.
I faced not that many challenges during my senior project. The biggest challenge i faced was actually breaking out of my shell and talking to the kids. This was hard for me cause i dont usually just start talking to people, especially ones younger than myself. I overcame this challenge by just getting the idea that they are kids and if i reach out, they wont reject me. I also overcame it by just talking, and putting my fears aside.
