This year overall
The biggest thing I have improved upon this year has been my presenting/public speaking. I have definitely become more comfortable talking and discussing. Receiving feedback on my public speaking from outside sources like my teachers, peers, and judges have helped me tremendously improve myself.
think of a time when you have received feedback on your project. How was it delivered and what was the impact to you?
JSHS Feedback
My most memorable feedback on my project was from JSHS this year. The judges all watched my project and then asked me very harsh questions that left me very confused in front of a large audience. This impacted my project because I realized that I would have to be ready for critics, especially using a hot topic such as breastfeeding. This feedback made me feel disappointed that they did not like or appreciate my project and the amount of work I put into it, but it also made me more determined to succeed.
Region 2 Feedback
At the region science fair the judges asked me a lot about the demographics of my survey responses and specifically one judge was surprised about how many people actually said yes to being breastfed. Because of this, I think I could have done a better job at breaking down the results of my survey and comparing them to real world statistics.
