This project had many different aspects. It was challenging in some ways and enjoyable in others. There were hard parts and also easy parts. There were also things that I would have done differently had I start again. And, there were also lessons learned.
One of the challenging parts of this project was to write the blog posts. Specifically, I found it difficult to come up with great ideas to write about. It took me a long time to decide what to write about. I realize how hard is to have good ideas. I didn’t know that writing interesting content would be so challenging.
A mistake I made was not to get all the blog post done immediately. Specifically, the one I am writing right now. I left this to the last minute and that wasn’t a good idea. Today, I’m feeling stressed out that I have to write this last post. I realize that it’s important for me to have some time before the deadlines. Otherwise, I would get nervous and it might get in the way of writing an interesting blog post.
However, there weren’t just difficulties. There were also other aspects that came easily to me. One of the easier aspects was creating my video. I enjoyed it very much. It was easy for me because I created a plan before starting with the video. This plan helped me as a format to follow along the way. I realized how important having a structure could be.
This whole project left me with a big lesson. I learned a lot of things about my mom that I didn’t know before. I learned that she was very excited about what would come in the US and not nervous to start a new life. Also, I learned that her parents were very supportive about making this big step. I wouldn’t have imagined this. It’s easy to believe that your parents wouldn’t encourage you to leave your home. All this information was new to me. I wonder if I would know this information if I didn’t have this project. I’m glad I got to know about this part of my mom’s life.
Overall, I enjoyed this project. I learned things about my mom that I didn’t know before and I also learned things about myself. I learned how to better organize a project, how to prioritize tasks and how to conduct an interview. I will bring these lessons to help me with the Capstone project.
