For this capstone project, I created a PowerPoint presentation on the steps to become a veterinarian. I wanted to create a capstone project for this because this was a career that i have inspired to be for years. I have been wanting to be a veterinarian since the age of six years old and it is a career that I still enjoy. With this capstone, I wish to inform people on the profession that I was interested to for so long and it would be an incredible thing to at least get people to consider doing something like this as their future career. Convincing someone to become a veterinarian would be amazing to do because that is exactly what I want to achieve. Throughout my presentation, I tried to give some of the simplest of steps to help guide someone that would like to become a veterinarian. If I can not do that, then I simply wish to inform others about my and possibly other people’s career choice to hold respect for them as others would respect different types of career choices and future professions. I have tried to thoroughly experience the steps from the course to take to how to possibly opt out of it if they want to. After this project, I feel like this research has became a refresher. The reason why I feel this way is because I was able to go over information that give me  more things to think about for my future career.

When you start High School you never know how your four years will be like. Some people may have good experiences and others may have bad experiences. Either way, high school will be a learning experience for everyone. I believe my four years at Science Leadership Academy at Beeber have been a roller coaster. For my Capstone project, I wanted to share my experience with the people who have impacted me the most at SLA at Beeber by creating a video. I believe making this video was the best way for me to do reminisce and reflect on the importance of what SLA has done for me and others. I wanted to focus on how things changed for me because I came into this school with a lot of confusion. I continuously asked myself, who will be my friends? How will I be academically? Will I have good relationships with my teachers? My video shows how I came to terms with all of my curiosity. I made this capstone to reflect on my four years in high school but also thank everyone. To do that, I had to put together interviews with students and teachers for people to really understand what it is like to be apart of the SLA community. In conclusion, I gathered videos and pictures of all the people who have were significant to me. The goal of creating this video was to be inspirational and for people to remember Science Leadership Academy at Beeber the way I will remember this school.

What is beauty? We based our capstone project on beauty because it is such a powerful word in today's generation. There are many definitions of beauty, but people still have the mindset that beauty is based upon physical appearance i.e. eurocentric beauty standards and not who you are as person. We wanted to give a visual representation of what beauty means. We interviewed 5 people from different countries from Science leadership Academy at Beeber to show the beauty standards around the world. We wanted to learn what the definition of beauty meant in different countries, and how people from different countries expressed beauty and what made them feel beautiful.  We came up with 5 questions about beauty to ask. These questions were, “Where are you from?, What’s your definition of beauty? What’s your countries idea of beauty? What is the difference between your country’s beauty and America’s? Which standard of beauty do you find yourself conforming to?” We then asked them to bring clothing or jewelry that defined beauty from their country. To broaden our point of view, we asked two gentlemen to give their perspective on beauty. Given the fact that beauty isn’t just within a person, it can also be a place or thing, we also explored the Art Museum of Philadelphia. Each one of the five people say the word Beauty in their language. For the final project, we created a video that we wanted to share with the world.
