Capstone Reflection

At the beginning of this course, I thought that it would actually be a very hard course. I had many strengths and weaknesses as a person. One of my weaknesses is that I was terribly afraid of presenting to my classmates. At all times I thought it would be horrible and that I would say something wrong and everyone would laugh or make fun of me. With many projects and presentations that I had to do in order to graduate I had to overcome my fear of presenting. I also joined Model United Nations to help with getting over the fear of public speaking. High school serves many purposes, only some of which are emphasized in our culture. First is it prepares you for the purpose of your career. Although the courses we take in school isn’t in depth information that relates to your career but it gives you background information on what to expect in university. It helps each person develop many skills and it doesn’t have to relate to your career when you graduate. It helps with better communication with written and verbal since programs in school feature advanced writing and speaking assignments. Which trains each person in order to express themselves clearly and communicate more effectively with other people. Critical thinking skills is also another skill that is learned in school. Where it is the ability to think and to think well and positively. This ability which helps ur identify and solve problems comes in handy in your personal and social life as well as your job in the future. School also helps us identify and realize our passions because of the variety of courses we take and decide which ones we prefer than others. Finally, at the end of high school when you’ve earned your diploma you got something to be proud of in front of everybody. With that comes a sense of accomplishment which is something that have the ability to instill you with the confidence to pursue whatever you desire in your own life.
