Autumn Richardson's Capstone
Entering Science Leadership Academy at Beeber in ninth grade was a start of a chapter in my life. In this chapter were laughter, blood, sweat, tears, contentment, and happiness. I am sad to say that this chapter is coming to an end, but before it ends we are given the opportunity to apply what we learned at SLA@Beeber by doing the Capstone Project. At first I didn't know what to do. I changed my Capstone topic three times before coming choosing my topic. My Capstone Project is about stress and how it affects one's mind. I chose stress because it played a major role in my four years of high school; especially during the college process.
To prevent stress for the "soon to be seniors" I presented a powerpoint on "What You Need To Know To Succeed In Your Senior Year". In this presentation, I covered everything from the application process to senioritis. I covered many topics that will come up in their senior year, to have them feel more prepared. I understand that my presentation will not erase all stress because SLA@Beeber has a rigorous curriculum, but I hope my advice could help them make better decisions and by better decisions have a more successful senior year.
