NY Times Reactions and Reflections

1. The way I felt when I shared my NY Times project was that I felt pretty confident in my approach. I like to present projects and I am a pretty outgoing guy who really fears nothing in presenting himself to the world. I guess I was just born that way.

2. I felt pretty exhilarated that I was able to present my project and I had a blast doing so. I enjoy engaging with the audience because it allows me to be myself and I feel that with a more humanistic approach, presentations seem more interesting as you interact with the audience and I like doing that a lot.

3. The thing I learned most about myself was that despite my liking for presenting projects and presentations, I tend to mess my words up and I don’t really pick that up until somebody tells me or if I realize that I messed up a certain important word at the time.

4. The process of watching my peers present was a testing one. I’m not going to lie: I’m not exactly the patient type and I guess that runs in the family because my parents and their family also set a limit on their patience unless it is of something important or interesting. But nevertheless, I was able to appreciate their presentations and they were all excellent in my opinion.

5. The things that I learned from my peers was that with a collaborative effort, people can make something ordinary into something extraordinary with the amount of effort and time that people put into their work.
