Projects 2016 - 2017 Junior Year
Themed Holiday Party - In this project, we basically had to come up with a themed holiday party for 100 people. For the project, we did not have a budget restraint, so we were able to freely express our creative minds, just as we pleased. Also with this project, we completed this as a first semester final. Therefore, going over the basic principles of hospitality. I chose this project because it was significant to me because to me, this project utilized everything we learned in the first semester. If I could go back and change it, I would have focused more on the activities. |

Expertise
- In this project, we had to present to the class one skill we were good at and to teach it to the class. For me, I chose to teach and present my slides about how to fish tail braid. In my slides, I provided a little of background of the braid, supplies needed and the steps you would need in order to start the braid. The presentation was shortly followed by a live demonstration. I chose this project because, it showcases one of my "talents" and it was really fun to have classmates to participate alongside the live demonstration. If I could do something different, it would be how I did the demonstration. I would have thought out how to project it easier, so that there was not 4 people trying to help me. |

Projects 2017 - 2018 Senior Year Ted Talk : - For this project, I focused my ted talk on the effects of White culture on colored youth. I started my Ted talk about the history, personal experience and some analysis. I chose this topic because I have been passionate about the topic because cultural appropriation has always driven me to politics. If I could do something different, it would be to practice the speech. |

How I built this
- For this project, we had just started to learn about entrepreneurs. With this said, we got to choose who we wanted our project to be about. I chose Eileen Fisher because she was the only person Ive heard about. I listened to her podcast about her journey to get to where she is. I also did additional research on her background for my slides. I chose this project because it inspired me the most, out of all the projects Ive done for this class. If I could do something differently, it would be to make sure my slides were consistent. |

Bites Under the Lights
- For this project, we had the opportunity to curate our own food truck. With this food truck, we created a menu, what the truck would look like,etc. Preparing for the slides, we did market research to see which neighborhood would be a good fit for our business. I chose this project because it was fun to include food that my group members and I were exposed to when we were younger. If I could something different next time, it would to charge more for the food because apparently it was under priced. |

NFTE Business Plan
- This project was actually curated in our Economic class which is technically now a conjoined class. We got the chance create our own business. For me, I chose to start a business that involved topics that Im interested in such as politics, self empowerment and self love. My business plan was to basically open up a studio in LA that teaches Krav Maga. I really enjoyed this project because we were exposed to getting to compete against others students as entrepreneurs. Another reason why I enjoyed the project was because I got to learn more about my emi. I would do more research on locations and learn more about the phycology of people who take self defense classes. |
