The difference in my writing from freshman year to senior year had changed dramatically. My school required all senior students to complete a senior project. We had to choose a topic we were passionate about and complete a year-long project. Throughout the year we have to complete a ten page research paper, my writing skills were put to the test during this paper. This article has given me confidence to write about anything. At the end of the project we have to give a ten minute presentation in front of a jury. This is not something that is done in all high schools, but I am happy that my high school has made it part of our curriculum. This challenged me in many new ways. Along with the project we still completed the homework in our English class. We had to write many types of papers during my senior year. I couldn't imagine my senior year without my project, it created many learning opportunities that I wouldn't have learned anywhere else
