Final Blog post

Alright, so first things first. This project was definitely a project like no other. It required me to actually solve a problem not written on a piece of paper or with a hint as to how to solve the problem. Instead, I had to actually go out into the school community and find a problem. In my experience as a student, teachers usually say, "here's a scenario, your tasks, and your timeline on how it should be, now go and do it." However, this project was like: "find a scenario, plan it out, and keep yourselves plan in check." It forced us as students to be individual thinkers in a way, making choices for ourselves and standing on our own two feet as people. So what went well was definitely the presentation. I feel that our group put it's best foot forward in our showcase of our project. What didn't go so hot was what the presentation encompassed. Due to some planning issues, our Ho'oulu ia Kamehameha project was a scramble to finish a single bench and just get someone to sit down on it. I learned that sometimes, it's better to just lead than expect another to do it, because your subordinates are probably thinking the same thing: "Oh, it's fine, someone else will take charge, no worries." Sometimes, it just takes a single person to step up and say: "Hey, we need to focus right now, so lets get back on track." The stories behind this are the  blog posts and several of our written assignments. For our blog posts, all of us forgot the turn of who did what, and ended up thinking it was just someone else's turn, thus a lack of blogposts. For writing assignments, for several items, such as our final report, proposal, and detailed design, they were all pretty rushed. The reason? No one regularly checked when what was due, and no one tried to take charge and remind the rest. As for what I would change, I can't think of anything really. It's pretty fair, so I would say nothing needs to be changed. By thinking up a real solution to a real problem, I saw how the science was happening, which I found very cool. Asking things like: "What's the plan?" or "What's a possible solution?"
