My thought towards the whole idea of a senior project was that it was a waste of time. I don't say this because I was lazy in doing it or anything, I just feel like we could've used all that time to focus more on the AP exam itself. What I found helpful in the project was the college, career, and scholarships research form. That forced me to take a deeper look into my future. The whole idea of having a senior notebook was complicated, but I enjoyed my end result. Now I can have something to look back on, sort of like a book of accomplishments.
Moving on to the research paper itself. I didn't enjoy writing it as much as I enjoyed learning all of the new information about my topic. To make the overall project more worthwhile, however, I think that the research paper should be more about plans after high school in order to get to your desired career. Things like how many years of college, what classes to take, your major, etc. Then they can go on to giving a brief overview of that career and mention things such as its growth rate and such. With all the time that was set aside for this project, changing it to this way would make it a whole lot more useful for future references.
