Project Presentation Overview
My presentation was so fun and I did really well! I got a 99% as my grade! I wonder what I did wrong on that 1% š. Anyways, the project went great and my mom and dad came to watch my presentation. I presented for a lot of people so I got really tired of talking and standing but it was really fun to present to students, teachers and parents. Everyone's presentation looked great!
My speech
The project presentation was so fun to do and I had my speech memorized perfectly. I started off with a speech that I wasn't very proud of. I kept wanting to change it but didn't know how. When I wrote my notecards, I kept coming up with more ideas to write. So I finally changed my speech to something that I am very proud of and I used it in the presentation. Here it is:

My
project is based on my hobby, something I love, which is guitar. My original
project was a kindness project. I changed it because I felt as if I couldnāt do
much with that certain project. Since I love guitar and am very passionate
about it, I decided to do my project on it. I learned a lot throughout this
whole project. I accomplished a lot as well and had fun doing it.
My first goal was to do
random acts of kindness for my original project, since it was a kindness
project. Another goal was to learn how to tune my guitar, as well as learn how
to play bar chords. There is nothing special about bar chords, really. In fact,
they sound about the same as regular chords. The only difference is that bar
chords have fuller sounds.
I accomplished my goal
of learning how to tune my guitar. It took a lot of searching and watching
YouTube videos to figure it out. Finally online, I found a recommendation of an
app called Guitar Tuner. I downloaded it and found it really useful. My next
accomplishment was for my original project. Since it was a kindness project, my
goal was to do random acts of kindness. If you think about it, you do random
acts of kindness everyday in your life. From complimenting someone to helping
them when they need it, they are all random acts of kindness. Therefore, I
accomplish my goal every day. One thing I need to accomplish is bar chords. I
intend to learn it even after this project is over.
That brings me to my
failures. Even though this project was fun, there were still challenges along
the way. A challenge with my guitar project is that I couldnāt learn bar
chords. A challenge with my original project is that I couldnāt do many things
with it and I couldnāt reach some goals.
Despite not completely
achieving my goals, I enjoyed both projects because I got to do my hobby and
something I love and believe in. I will try to accomplish my goals after this
project is over. Hopefully, I will accomplish them. 20% time taught me that I
should do more things with my time. It also taught me that me that if you set a
goal, you can achieve it. Just like when I set my goals, I achieved the ones I
spent the most time in. Honestly, I didnāt put that much time into learning bar
chords, but did put time into learning to tune my guitar. Therefore, if you set
a goal and spend your time trying to achieve it, you will.

Update
Now in the project, when we are starting to actually set up all the poster boards and write the essays, it actually worries me that I wont get done with it. Since I didn't really accomplish much with my project, its hard to write the speech and do the poster boards.
