866 Words4 Pages

Reflection For my senior project I chose to research drug testing for student athletes. While I was working on my Senior Exhibition I ran into a lot of obstacles. I had a difficult time choosing a topic because I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to research but when I did I ended up finding a lot of important information. Another obstacle I ran into was finding an advisor and a time that was convenient for the advisor and I to meet. I overcame my obstacles in many ways. I ended up doing virtual shadowing since my advisor wasn't able to make time to meet and I just emailed him back and fourth for my information. While I was preparing for my exhibition my advisor was my favorite teacher, Coach Evans. I really enjoyed him being my advisor and he was extremely helpful and reliable. We met a good bit and he helped me with all the things I needed help with when I came to him.

What were more available were books, and with I looked at the author’s background and what validity they posed to the research being conducted.
