Reflecting On My Capstone Project

I have been doing capstone for a very long time and I am finally almost finished.  During this project I have learned that researching is not my greatest skill and that I enjoy my work more when I get to choose what I learn about. I think a strength of my final project is the fact I had to interviews to compare to each other. Both of my interviews had different perspectives because I interviewed someone who failed at OIT and someone who is successfully doing OIT. I think if I were to do capstone again I would choose a easier topic, or change how i did my research. I would find more articals to refrence and interview a real allergen doctor. I had a hard time with research because OIT is a more recent treatment, but my interviews were probably the easiest part. For my interviews I already knew 2 people who do/did OIT. I also had an easy time writing my script because I had my information organized. I think my capstone turned out great and I am proud of the work I did. If you want to learn more about OIT you can check out the websites I linked down below.

Reflecting On My Capstone Interviews.

For my capstone I interviewed 2 children and their parents. 1 child previously did OIT but had to stop because she developed a health condition called EOE from it, and the other child is still doing OIT right now. I got a lot of information from both of my interviews, and I think both went great!

One thing I learned is that OIT is a very long process that is not enjoyable for kids. I also learned that the kids and parents point of views of OIT were very different. For example when I asked the question: Do you like OIT? Why or why not? The kids answered very differently than the parents. The kids would say: I don’t like OIT because it’s annoying to do everyday. The parents would say: I like OIT because it lets me know that in case something happens I know my kid will be safe. That is all I will be sharing for now but I will get further into detail in my final project.

For my capstone project I am doing allergy OIT.  My Main Inquiry Question is: Is OIT worth it? I have 5 sub-questions to hep me figure out my main question. My sub-questions are: 1. What are the cons of OIT?  2. What are the benefits of OIT? 3. How does OIT have an impact on everyday life? 4. How does allergy OIT work? 5.How effective is OIT?

I have found it hard to research my topic because there is not a lot of information on allergy OIT. I have set dates for my interviews and hope to find out more information about OIT soon. I am very exited for this project and I think this will be a lot of fun!

I had so much fun creating this WeVideo for the interview I did with my grandfather. It was a great experience that I enjoyed very much. I put a lot of effort into my WeVideo and I hope that it helps people learn about my grandfather.

I’ve done my research on my question, “what state did no send a delegate to the Constitutional Convention and why?” The research was very challenging because i could not find much information at first but that motivated me to keep looking. In the end i found a answer to my question.

I chose to research the question:

What state did not send a delegate to the constitutional convention and why?

because i thought it was interesting that every other twelve states sent a delegate to the convention except one. I want to find out what state did not send a delegate and why they chose not to do so.
