Reflection on the Journey

     Through out this whole journey I have really been happy with the product I have produced.  I was able to successfully learn the banjo and reach all of my goals in the allocated time.  It is sad to see that this project is over, but I know I will continue to learn the banjo.  I have really developed a love for the instrument because of the genius project.

     Overall, I was happy with my TED Talk.  I was able to get my message across about how the only way to practice was to completely immerse yourself in the practice.  I also was able to show my product in a way I thought was acceptable and portrayed my journey well.  I showed my process and showed the method I developed to help anyone else wanting to learn an instrument.  One thing I wish I did was talk about the intrinsic and extrinsic motivations in this project.  I did mention my love for folk music, but I wish I specifically mention the motivations.  Besides this I was very pleased with my talk.

My grade for myself is a 27 / 30 (90).  I was quite pleased with the way my talk went and I hope you enjoyed it if you were able to attend.  Thanks!
