First-Week Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One thing I am most excited about for this semester is that I am essentially a rising junior in college, and my research team and lecture have seemingly been combined, which means this is a new stage in the CODES Program. I am mostly excited about the prospect of being able to make actual changes in the community. One thing I am afraid of most, however, is that being an elder CODES Member and being a step away from being Juniors, is the increased responsibility and having a larger workload, but this is a rather minor fear as I have had a bit of experience under my belt and that makes me less afraid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midterm Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Something that my group mates and I are doing is that we are creating a blog post of sorts to summarize our major project, the Water Fair. This is being done to essentially simplify our projects into somthing the average person (such as a science teacher, or a college student doing research outside of CODES) can understand. This is being done to ensure that our time in the CODES program leaves a legacy and that our work can be used for future generations of students. This, in my opinion, is a great honor to do as we are very close to being juniors and eventually seniors, which means we will be looked up to by future CODES cohorts and I am excited to see how this project will evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As my time in CODES comes to an end, somthing I think I have achieved this semester was essentially learning how to end something on a high note. I have had a tumultuous time in CODES, balancing it with College work, as well as my original group falling apart, and finding a new place in the one I am currently in. I was able to find the good in a stressful situation, and I gained the ability to adapt when things don’t go as planned, and I made great friends out of it as well, and while there were some bumps, I wouldn’t have it any other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goal 1 (10%)<\/strong>
Based on 8A,  I will use clear pattern organization in order to present my content in a meaningful way.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

-Emplace Revisions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evidence for Goal 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I achieved this goal through my Emplace Revisions, in which I decided to consolidate all my information on my project into a place I or someone else could use as a reference. I also organized my specific portion of the Water Fair in its own place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
