The Letter of Intent is just a general overview of what my topic is, what I plan to touch on, and what my product will be. My topic of interest was homelessness and I narrowed it down to homelessness in Hawai'i, which is my topic still.

This photo is from my time spent in Hawai'i when I was in the mountains for a week, mentoring and tutoring the kids. It was the last day of camp and we were waiting for the kids' parents to come and pick them up. The kids also got to pick books they wanted to take home and I am reading one that Ella (the little girl in pink), picked out.

This photo is from my time spent in Hawai'i when I was in the mountains for a week, mentoring and tutoring the kids. The purpose was to get them prepared for school while also allowing them to have fun, get proper nutrients, and learn more about who they are.

This photo is from my time spent in Hawai'i when I was in the mountains for a week, mentoring and tutoring the kids. On the first day of camp, each child was accounted for and then we called their names to come pick out a sleeping bag of their choice. I passed out pillows to each child as they came up, as well as a blanket.

At the beginning of the year, when everyone was getting settled in, Mrs. Martin told us about our senior project. She stated what we'd do, how class would work, and what we needed to do to get started. The very first assignment she gave us was 'Exploring Topics'. We searched up any controversial topic we wanted and wrote down our top three choices and why we were considering that topic.

# data[].attributes.body
In my very first reflection, I have goals that I wish to achieve about my topic and I have my accomplishments. I also talk about any concerns I may have and what I knew about the senior project after Mrs. Martin told us about it, basically so you know what I understood or how I saw things.

Once we had a pretty good idea on what our topic may be, we had to talk about the product. Mrs. Martin explained the product portion to us and then gave us three light bulbs to brainstorm ideas on. My third light bulb is on another page.

# data[].attributes.body
This was done later in the year but based on what my light bulbs idea, I wrote down any materials I may need for my product and what I planned to do. I had changed my idea by this time, but my light bulbs gave me a few ideas as well.

This is the same picture as the one before, but this is after I talked with Mrs. Martin about my product plan. She gave her ideas and gave us notes so we could keep track of everything we were focusing on for our product.

This photo is of our little trip to the LCC Library and me and some friends were sitting in one of the reserved rooms doing research. This is when we were just starting our research. All I knew was that I was focusing on the causes of homelessness and how tourism brought upon these factors.

This photo is of our little trip to the LCC Library and me and some friends were sitting in one of the reserved rooms doing research. As I researched, I wrote all over the board so I could see what questions I was focusing on and what my main topic was.

# data[].attributes.body
As part of our research, we had to find at least one mentor and needed at least 8-10 questions to ask them. The questions had to pertain to our topic and they couldn't be simple 'yes' or 'no' questions. I came up with nine questions and later showed them to Mrs. Martin for approval.

# data[].attributes.body
In my second Reflection, I talked about my research and how I will transition my research into my research paper. I had to talk about my next steps, what I believed my strengths and weaknesses are in writing, and how I felt having my 100 note cards completed.

# data[].attributes.body
Before we could dive into our research paper, we had to come up with a thesis statement and what our body paragraphs would be focusing on. Using an online Essay map, we made an outline for our essays and got everything approved by Martin. Once things were approved, we colored in each different body, the introduction, and the conclusion.

# data[].attributes.body
Once we had an approved thesis and our essay map had been checked and colored, we had to color each notecard depending on what section they fit under. Once that was done, we used our notecards to start writing our essays or another genre.

# data[].attributes.body
After we completed the research portion and were starting on our papers, Mrs. Martin gave everyone a partner each week to be their "Feedback Buddy". Our feedback buddy would give us corrective feedback on our paper, whether it be about the background or our genre. Either way, we had to complete assignments along the way and then Mrs. Martin graded them. This is one of our "curriculums".

# data[].attributes.body
This is pretty much the end of my senior project. During the week before spring break, Mrs. Martin had the class make a tree map of what we know about the portfolio, the product, and the presentation. I kept this handy because I always wanted to double check and make sure I was staying focused.

In my third reflection, I had to talk about what it was like having completed my mentor hours and what my next steps were. I let out a bit of frustration in the beginning of how I felt that 52 hours ,WITH PROOF, should've counted as my mentor hours because I could not get in contact with my mentors for most of the time.

# data[].attributes.body
The minimum number of mentor hours was 7 and that was a bit of a struggle. My mentors work year-round so they weren't always available and then the six hour time difference between Hawai'i and North Carolina made scheduling difficult. Either way, through an e-mail, my mentors answered the questions I sent them which gave me thirty minutes spent with them. The rest of it was made up for in my 52 hours of leadership training and Hawai'i homeless mentoring as stated in these documents. I also gained 200 hours of community service, but the certificate has not arrived.

Thank My Mentor is a thank you letter to my mentors, Mrs. Magin and Mr. Cliff, saying how I appreciate all of their help and support during this project.

As part of the senior project, we had to create a multi-genre research paper that highlighted facts and gave a creative P.O.V. for our paper. I chose Homelessness in Hawai'i and Project Hawai'i for most of my genres since they are the main points of my research. Excuse one of the photos please, the conversion pushed one picture into another page and so page 24-25 are a bit messed up.

# data[].attributes.body
As part of our senior project, we were required to make a poster. Since my topic is Hawaiian homelessness, I titled my project 'Project Hawai'i: Make A Difference'. The hands on my poster represent how we are all here for each other and the person in the middle holding the heart... they represent Project Hawai'i because that is the official logo for Project Hawai'i. The islands inside the heart are Hawai'i and the Hibiscus flowers at the end of my board, as well as the lei (flower necklace), also represent Hawai'i.

This photo is from when I was in Hawai'i in 2018 during the Summer. I showed this as part of my product to show people one of the activities we did while mentoring the children. I also consider this a part of my product as a sort of hands-on experience.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the presentation that I showed to people as part of my product. I called the presentation 'Share the Love' because I wanted people to show love for the kids and show them that people out there did care, even if it doesn't seem like it.

This documentary, Dear Thalia, was made in 2015 to show the lives of homeless people in Hawai'i. I showed this trailer for the documentary for my product to give people an Insider view of how the homeless live. I did download the video, but the file is too large so I had to put the link instead.

# data[].attributes.body
In this photo, I was showing some of my peers 'Dear Thalia'. The documentary was the second slide of my PowerPoint presentation and I watched it with them before elaborating on some of the key points of the documentary. I also asked them if there was anything they found interesting or shocking after the trailer ended.

In this photo, I am start my presentation with some of my peers. This was like a test run to see if I needed to change anything, but it was also to inform them about my topic and how they can spread awareness and get involved with Project Hawai'i Inc.

This is the rough draft of my visual aid for my presentation. I had everything up there that I wanted to talk about, but I needed to add some pictures. I have added them now and made a few changes, but this was the start of my presentation.
