Capstone - Guide Me
So the process in making my capstone was a steady flow since we had every wednesday to work on it. But coming up with the idea and making this end product a reality was a little bit complicated because I had so many ideas I wanted to do and I came up with something that would help out the next upcoming 12th graders. So my idea was brought through my personal experience and feeling clueless throughout the whole process. I felt like I was hopeless and had no clue what I was doing. My assumption that the guidance counselor was always busy with other students and never had time with me grew as I was afraid to reach out. I started talking with my teachers on potential ideas for my capstone and that’s when they suggested making a resource page because I had previously mentioned that I struggled with help when it came down to the college process. This is when I got inspiration to make this website a possibility, I started researching resources that could help others when making their decision on the college process. I wanted to make sure that I could provide the best resources possible in order to make sure the next upcoming seniors didn’t have an issue with the lack of information. But there were some hiccups when picking these resources. Some you had to pay for in order to access them but I wanted them to be free for anyone to use. After gathering a long list of resources that would benefit any type of student trying to learn more, I implemented it into my website. Most of the resources that are provided on my final product are a majority of websites and youtube videos that guide them in the right direction. Although the information might not give them a “correct” path, it provides them with a bit more information. But what I’m proud of is knowing that I left something useful and helpful to these upcoming seniors.
