Looking back on my senior project as a whole, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. I thought everything would be a lot harder than it actually was. Once I started writing my research paper, it was actually pretty easy. Doing my final product was a little stressful since there was so much to do. Once I did finish my product, I felt very proud of myself for accomplishing it. I was nervous to give my presentation because I don't like talking in front of people, but now that I have practiced in front of my class, I feel a lot more comfortable doing it. Overall, I had a very good experience with my senior project.

The last step of my senior project is creating and giving my presentation. In my presentation I talked about my whole project, starting with the research paper, and ending with my final product. I spent time at home practicing, then I gave my presentation in front of my classmates. One thing I need to work on is not shifting weight back and forth on my feet. I also need to slow down and not talk so fast. In one week I will give my presentation to the community, then again to the judges. I hope it goes well!
The final step to finishing my senior project is the presentation. I will have to create an eight to ten minute presentation on my senior project. I will then have to present this presentation three times: to my class, the community, and the judges. I am nervous to do the presentation because I don't like to talk in front of people. I think if I practice enough and get comfortable with what I am saying, the presentations will be easier for me. I also think presenting in front of my class first will help me get used to presenting so that I can do very well when I present to the community and the judges.
Since I have now finished my final product, now I can start filling out the rest of the papers for my binder. I filled out the senior project self-evaluation form. In this I rated myself at 5, which is excellent, for my senior project because I spent a lot of time on it and I worked really hard to finish it. I also did more work on the car than I had originally planned on doing for my project. I also filled out the letter to the school board. In this I thanked them for allowing me to do my project, and I also told them a little bit about my project. Another form I filled out was the letter to the judges. In this I thanked the judges for taking the time to look at my project, and I also gave them a little background information on my project.
As my time to finish my final product was winding down, there were just a few final touches I needed to finish in order to start the car up. I put new header gaskets and the other header on. I connected the transmission to the engine and installed the starter. I also put on the oil filter, then I primed the oil. Then I installed the distributor and carburetor and replaced the spark plugs. Once those were installed, I connected the spark plug wires to the distributor. I also installed the fuel pump and new fuel lines. I also installed the torque strap, new gas tank, the radiator, alternator, fans, and pulleys. I hooked up the new hose lines and the battery, and connected the water pump to the manifold. To finish it up, I installed the front seat and the new tires, and replaced the hood onto the car. I turned the key, and the car started right up. I was so proud of myself!
