This is the beginning of my Fall 2025 Semester here at SIUE. This semester I am pretty confident in my abilities to stay on top of things now that I’ve had a year of experience working with my professor. I can’t wait to demonstrate my research and collaboration abilities. Below you will find the goal I plan to achieve this semester and the steps I will take to get there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Mid Semester Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Now that I have reached the middle of this semester, I can happily say that for the most part I am satisfied with the progress I have made in completing my goals for this semester. Some things that I need to improve on is having a stronger work ethic when it comes to turning things in on time. For the most part I have been doing well in this area, but this is still something that I can improve on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              However, I have been successful in keeping up with my project this semester which has been a big part of the total amount of my workload this semester. I have been enjoying the process of interviewing young-adult SIUE students and learning about their experiences related to water knowledge and conservation methods. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

              End of Semester Update<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

              As the semester closes, I can say that I am proud of the progress I have made during this Fall semester. I have successfully achieved the goals I aimed to complete as far as submitting most of my assignments on time as well as sticking to the content I planned to create at the beginning of the year. Now that I have given my final presentation for this semester, I feel more confident in my abilities to provide something valuable to my team and to my partners at Heartlands Conservancy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              I will miss my professor Adriana Martinez, she was the most understanding and empathetic person I have ever had as a teacher, I’m sure all of my friends can say the same. With her guidance as my professor, I feel confident for the challenges that lie ahead as I go on to pursue bigger projects with different instructors. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
