I
am a woman, a professional, and a dreamer with an innovative imagination.
I believe that I am fully capable of doing
my project because my project is about innovation and imagination. My project
is my vision and who better to create it than myself.

capable of doing when it comes to creating an idea and turning it into
something more.

This activity was pretty difficult for me to answer because
I had such a difficult time figuring out what route I would like to take in my
project choice. For this reason, I left out a lot of important information that
would have helped to articulate my plan and engage my audience more. I am still
in the beginning phases of my project idea so I was very unclear in what exactly
my project would be. My project idea that I had came up with was to create a
magazine and a website to inspire nonprofits on how to use digital technology
to creatively and innovatively support their mission in the digital future. When I shared my answers to these questions
with the class, it was very unclear what I wanted my project to be so it was
very confusing to the class and not communicated very well.
After I received my feedback I realized that first and for
most I need to actually communicate my project plan to my audience. I need to
have a specific, solid plan that is clear and concise, and easy to understand.
Once I have a better understanding of my project, I also need to be more
confident when I am articulating my project plan to an audience. I was very
nervous while answering these questions because I was not thoroughly confident
in my answers. Once I have a clear plan to share, I need to make my plan
engaging to the audience, if I want them to value what it is I want to
accomplish.
