At the very start of the project, I knew it was going to be a long journey, challenges, fun, learning, and the result. A capstone project is a project where you get to choose what you would like to learn. I had decided to make my Main Inquiry Question about the 100 days of Napoleon, and it resulted in what was the impact of the battles of Quatre Bras and Ligny on the Battle of Waterloo. I had chosen this topic because I didn’t know much about how Napoleon lost and how he lost and I was interested.

Challenging this project would not be easy. While researching, I faced many challenges including finding websites and looking for photos. At first, it was easy to find resources but then after I found 4 I couldn’t find another because it all had the same information, in the end, I still found the last one. When finding photos for the video, some of the photos were blurred and didn’t work, so I had to have help finding a picture that is good but isn’t blurred. I learned many things from my experience doing this project. Creating this project was stressful and fun, I had to keep up with the delay I had and the due dates, but after all that, I became excited and wasn’t worrying too much because I knew that it was almost done. Although I was sick for a week, I managed to catch up.

After I finished doing research, I moved to my video or the main part of the project, and the final part. I had chosen to do a video. Even though I could probably memorize, I just don’t like to talk much because I’m shy. So that’s why I chose to do a movie so that I didn’t have to talk in front of a lot of people. So I’d say I chose the right one. A challenge that I faced during the project is when I was recording in the hall, people were talking really loud so I had to record many times so that it was at least a bit quieter. In the end, I had to find a good time to record in the hall so that my video could be good.

In conclusion, I learned a lot from this project. For example, I needed to be focused and have patience while recording. And while I had to search for resources and images. And I learned to solve problems from the difficulties I had. In the end, I think that it was worth going through the process of the Capstone project. Although it was a big project and it took a lot of time, it was a good experience.
