My NHD Experience

NHD was the single most stressful project I have ever had to do. It was a test of my patience, and research and writing abilities. I was pulling my hair out and screaming at the top of my lungs at times, but I am glad that I did it and I'm proud of my paper.

I came to this school for a challenge and I got what I asked for. This is the biggest project I have ever done and the most detail oriented. The bibliography was the bane of my existence for this project. All of the information and the specific way it had to be written, it was maddening! Next year, I willing make sure to cite my sources as I go so I don't need to go back later and find them.

I learned a lot about myself during this project. I learned that I a capable of more than I thought. I only had a vague idea of what I was doing, and I'm still going to city's! I was able to find useful, valuable resources and write a good, interesting, information filled essay that gives all the facts. I also learned that I am a great organizer and that I can get things done right and on time with very little effort.

As much as I whined and complained during this project, I am glad I did it.
