Finally! After long hours staying up, worrying, fuming the night before away, I have presented my senior project!!! Lord knows I was nervous....I about collapsed from relief when I got it done.
I think the thing that got the judges off guard was that I walked in barefoot. Actually there were a lot of people who were asking about what my senior project was. I should have just made a T-shirt saying, "My Senior Project was on Barefoot running vs Shod Running and the Pros and Cons thereof." It was so annoying to have to say it so much, but I guess the slight fraying helped in the presentation overall. The first grade I got the first time I presented in front of my teacher (different then The Teacher) was 87. That was good, but there were some major flaws in my presentation that I fixed before the final one.
When I went in front of the judges, I got an overall grade of a 93. That was better then what I got before, but they still got me on the same thing that lowered my grade in the first place. I didn't talk about my mentor enough, even though I added some more things about her within the project.
But overall, I think I did good, not just based on the grade, but the fact that they asked questions. It showed that I got them curious enough to ask in the first place, and that I could answer them according to subject. One lady asked me If I would be doing barefoot walking or running more often and I said yes. The other asked if I usually walk the way I came in, and I gave her a brief history about how I had never liked shoes, and how I was right. I told her that I have walked barefoot in the snow before just recently. So it was fun and interesting.
