Capstone Presentation

The overall experience of capstone was quite overwhelming and frustrating, as it seems that we were required to make an end product that is supposed to be effective and yet feasible.

It involved extensive editing of my thesis, my topic, my issue, and my paper to finally create the final product, but in the end, it all worked out. There were times where it did consume my entire Monday night or so forth, but this was partly because of my lack of time management and procrastination. It seems that some of the work that was done within the capstone course didn't seem necessary and could certainly have been left out, leaving a less stressful and time consuming curriculum. Nonetheless, the only I can show at this point is gratitude with the fact that it is all over, senior year is coming to a close, and I can look back ten, twenty, even thirty years down the line and think of how ridiculous it was that a capstone project was a required component in the program. Overall, I have relief and one less thing to worry about between now and the time I graduate.

One sentence that encompasses or contains the conflict of the project.

• As mutations occur in tumor suppressor genes, inhibition occurs and often the damage is too far beyond repair.

Subtitle/ Log line that gives more info.

•  When inhibition occurs, the body is then opened to giving rise to cancerous cells

Video Interviews?

Two people I could interview while filming for my capstone project:

One would certainly be my mentor and Biology professor, Professor Vanderlaan. The reason why I chose him was because he is guiding me and providing advice for the progress of my capstone and is also familiar with the field I;m working with. Dr. Vanderlaan has a Ph.D and taught my first semester of Biology.

The next person I would interview would be someone that works at a cancer treatment center, maybe an oncologist at a local hospital. Why? Because the oncologist would be familiar with exactly what cancer is along with the genes and terminology I am researching about.

Purpose of Project

Great Book Covers

The Great Gatsby

This is a good book cover because of the same color saturation, between the black and white coloration as well as the simplicity of it. You see a title, a background picture, and then the author's, making it easy on the eyes to see.

Great Day Everyday
 This a also great considering the background image is calming or relaxing, and the cover also contains a title and authors name. A similar if not the same font is used for all the text shown, and a small phrase also adds mystery and interest in the book, "Navigating life's challenges". 




Terrible Book Covers 

Whether you're democratic or republican, you just have to question why there is random pictures of political leaders at the bottom of the cover? I think the cover would have been fine without the figures shown at the bottom. The title gives a negative appeal to myself, and maybe dissuades others to read it as well.

 



 Who?
I consider this one terrible because I find the background image to be intriguing, however, the title of the book doesn't seem to correlate with the image at all. There is a connection between the top part and the bottom by the hard to see unifont science fiction, but the lower section is far more heavily concentrated than the upper section.

Yearbook Themes

There is quite a few different themes for this years yearbook. It's 2013, the year of graduation for me and the rest of my class, and this years theme should be something of reminiscence, a reminder of what we all experienced the last couple of years.

One theme that I like is: "Small impression, Big impact" because we all came from different schools, different cultures, and different experiences and came to grow to be a unity, a family. When everyone looks back at Junior year, August term think back to how you felt. We all felt the same way, some came with friends from their old school, others came and stood alone, nervous and anxious. Since then, everything is different, friendships were made, people came to be closer, we all fell into our own group of friends or our own "clique", but it all started with the first impressions we gave the first couple of weeks, maybe even the first couple of days we met.

Another theme, and probably my favorite of the two is "The opening of a new chapter". This one can apply to the seniors as well as the juniors a little stronger than the first one. It's senior year for most of us, and we're all about to go off to another chapter in our life. For some, college. For others, living on your own and working. But the idea is that we're all moving on to bigger and possibly better things. The juniors will soon be the next seniors of the school, and by this time next year, they'll be the ones looking back at all the experiences they had with both their old school and their new school here at RCHS.
