               Self Reflection:

               Through this project I have realized what I believe an educated voter is. Personally I believe that an educated voter not only knows the resources to go to in order to check a candidate and votes for who they believe is the best person. I think the most challenging thing for me in this project was having to overcome my fear of being an audience and debating. I'm really glad I did it though because I realized that even though I was afraid it was something I really enjoyed. I feel like I've learned so much from this project and I could honestly say it has been one of my favorite high school projects. I've gained hard knowledge that I know will be so useful in the future not only for myself but for me to teach others and spread it. My current state of the American presidential election is to always look at everyone's side and keep an open mind even if I don't always agree. 

              When we presented our work on exhibition night I think it went pretty well considering how we had three class grades in one place. I do think it could've been better and could have gotten more attention if we would've done our own exhibition. When we debated in front of  the entire school I feel like we did our best to engage the students and were able to open up there minds in another way. Which I think is awesome, we were able to teach them more than what they already know and be able to prepare them to vote for the future. 

             Overall I believe we did an amazing job and with the amount of time we were given we did great! I would definitely recommend other students to do this project. I absolutely loved it because I was really able to grasp onto the knowledge I was being taught and I knew it was going to be beneficial to my life especially in the future. It really made me appreciate the class. Another thing is that I can honestly say I got inspired and started to spread the word with people around me on how to vote which was fun.
