Exhibit: Biology Evolution Test and RNA Gene Expression Worksheet
Benchmark: Academic
Skills: Top piece of work in Biology
The first piece of work is my Biology Evolution Test. This chapter was one of my favorites because I found it really interesting. This chapter was about the evolution of the earth and how it transformed over many years. My second piece is the RNA Gene Expression worksheet. This worksheet was about enzymes, nucleotides, proteins, amino acids and how they work throughout a human’s body.
I chose my Biology evolution test because it was not only one of my favorite chapters, but one of my best tests. I did fairly well in that class and I was proud of my working skills. I also chose the RNA Gene Expression worksheet because learning about how chemicals work in your body was very interesting and taught me more about the human body and the way it works.
When I become a physical therapist I will need to know how the body works and how it reacts to certain things just like the RNA Gene Expression test has taught me. On the other hand I will still need to do some research on things and the Evolution Test has taught me how to do that by allowing me to search for many interesting things about the earth.

Exhibit: Model Government Congress
Benchmark: Academic
Skill: Top piece of work in Social Studies
In my Government class during junior year I had to develop my own bill to be voted on in a model congress. I wrote my bill about finding new ways to get rid of the national debt. After we voted on the bill we could find ways to alter the bill so it may get passed by the model congress.
I chose this work because it was a major project I did in a social studies class. I did a fairly good job on the project and got an A on it. My bill was liked by many of the model congressmen and ended up getting passed through the model congress. It was an interesting project that I had fun doing and I learned quite a bit about our government in doing so.
This may help me as a young adult when I’m voting for congressmen or senators. As a young adult I will need to vote for representatives of our national government and having gone through this will help give me perspective when voting for a hopeful congressmen to represent me.

Exhibit: Vietnam War Project
Benchmark: Academic
Skills: Top piece of work in Social Studies
My freshman year we were required to take a class called Later American Studies or a most people called it L.A.S. During this class we had to interview someone we knew who lived during the time of the Vietnam War. We had to find out what life was like during the war, how they handled it and how they were able to overcome tragedies. I had interviewed my Grandpa Carl.
I chose this piece of work because it was one of my best pieces and it was very interesting. I did fairly well in that class and I was proud of my working skills. By doing this project I was able to learn more about the importance of the Vietnam War and how my family overcame hard obstacles during that rough time.
When I become a physical therapist I will need to interview patients to understand their injuries and other problems. I will also need to do some research to help me give the patients a diagnosis for their injury. Physical therapy has a lot of researching and understanding how people can get through injuries as fast as they can.

Exhibit: Sports Training Test
Benchmark: Academic
Skill: Top piece of work in Physical Education
Being a physical therapist I have found that anything to do with that field of study comes to me fairly easy. It was no exception in sports training. In our first test in that class I received a perfect score. The test was mainly about the bones in the body. However, there were a few other things included like athletic training requirements, and different associations related to athletic training.
I found this test to be fairly easy and I found myself having no problems in finishing the test with a perfect score. However, I believe this speaks volumes in the fact that I was able to learn and remember things I learned in previous years and in this class that I would get a perfect score so easily on the first test. Since I felt the test was so easy it would have been very inconvenient for me to make a simple mistake that I and so many other people are used to doing on a regular basis.
Being a physical therapist I will need to remember a lot of the things I learned in this particular section of the class on a daily basis. Knowing these things is the definition of being a therapist so if I wish to keep my job it will be beneficial for me to remember them.

Exhibit: Food Science Study
Benchmark: Academic
Skill: Top piece of work in an Elective
I took a class called Lab Science during my freshman year. In this class we learned how to set up and carry out science experiments. For our final project we had to come up with our own food experiment and carry it out with a partner of our choosing.
This project posed a lot of difficulties and wasn’t very easy at all. I chose this piece of work for that reason in particular. I also chose it because it helped me to understand the things you have to go through to try and prove a certain point. It can be very difficult to prove something to someone and to carry out an experiment to help back up your opinion is even more difficult. It also helped me to work with other people and to get out of my comfort zone of working alone. It was also a very fun project. I learned a lot from it and that is all you can ask for out of a school assignment.
As a young adult I will need this to help me get through college. I’m very certain that in college I will be doing a lot of research labs and conducting a lot of experiments. Having taken this class and gone through this I will have a good basic understanding of what to do and a good foundation to build on later in life.

Exhibit: Art Drawing
Benchmark: Academic
Skill: Top piece of work in Elective
I have taken two art classes in my high school career. This may not seem like a big deal but it is odd because I am not very good at art. Seeing as I am not very good at art I did have a rough time in my first go-around at art. However, my second time was a lot better. My stand-out piece of work is this picture of Tom off of the T.V. show Tom and Jerry that I drew. It was a difficult drawing and it did challenge me quite a bit.
My not being good at art was a cripple when I had to take it as a class. The reason I chose this particular piece of work is because it shows my redemption from my first time in the class. Like I said earlier I did not have a good experience my first time taking an art class. However, my second effort was substantially better and I believe this piece of work is a symbol of that. To some people this drawing may not look very good but in my opinion it is the best thing I’ve drawn in my whole life, and when comparing it to my previous works you can see a drastic difference.
As a physical therapist drawing may not become a huge deal but it could result in something I am going to need to do. However, I believe the bigger picture of giving a second effort in a certain subject is going to be a huge deal when it comes to me being a physical therapist. It’s going to help to improve my work and to improve myself.

Exhibit: Spanish Presentation
Benchmark: Academic
Skill: Top piece of work in an Elective
I took Spanish as a freshman and it was fairly difficult. Not only was it my first year in high school so it was hard enough, but I also had to take a lot of hard classes. In Spanish I had a presentation I had to do about my family. I had to do the whole thing in Spanish and it was pretty hard. I also stepped it up a little bit by writing everything in my power point in English and translating it all on the fly. By doing so, I received five points of extra credit.
I chose to write about this because I did find it somewhat difficult to finish the assignment. Maybe it was just my procrastination or maybe it was the fact that I tried so hard to get extra credit, but I wasn’t able to finish the assignment on time and got marked down. However, before I got marked down for that I did receive a very good grade that I am proud of. As upset I am for not getting the assignment in on time I am still very happy about how well I did on the assignment and how well it helped me to get through that class.
As a young adult I don’t really see this coming into play very much. However, if I ever make a trip to Mexico or I meet someone who can only speak Spanish it can help me describe to them my family, or even just help me to somewhat sustain a conversation.

Exhibit: 1984 written response questions and Anthem essay
Benchmark: Academic
Skills: Top pieces of work in English
First, 1984 is a well known and well written book across the United States and has become a part of many schools assignments. After every three chapters of the book we would do written response questions with a partner and share answers and questions with one another. The second exhibit is my Anthem test assay. These essays include questions about who the characters were, the importance of the chapters, and what message the book gave us.
I chose this assignment because doing the response questions helps me generate ideas about what could happen next. When we do these assignments with a partner it helps hearing someone else’s answer rather than my own. This assignment has helped me think more in depth by sorting out the chapters and getting to learn more about the characters in the book. The Anthem test assay was a writing portion of the test. When we did those essays we had to know the book really well and we had to remember little things. This essay has helped me because I was able to concentrate and listen to the little things better.
When I become a physical therapist I will need to learn how to think things out thoroughly and these assignments have helped me gain the ability to do so. With every assignment in this class we had to think about what was going on in the book and relate it to problems happening in the world. When I have patients will need to listen to the little problems a person has to be able to diagnose them.

Exhibit: Geometry Test and Consumers Math Test
Benchmark: Academic
Skill: Top piece of work in Math
I have always been good in math and geometry is arguably my strongest area of mathematics. This test was mainly all about trigonometry. The test wasn’t very hard and I did a very good job on it. The trigonometry we had to do was very easy but it was somewhat difficult trying to learn. Taking the test I noticed many variations of trigonometric equations. For example, solving for sine or cosine, and maybe even using these to solve a triangle. My second piece of work is my Consumers Math Test. I did really well on this test and I believe it was one of my best ones. The test was over a chapter that we learned about Dave Ramsey and how he became out of dept and why he wants to show others how to be dept free.
I chose geometry because it exemplifies my attitude toward getting a better grade. I got a perfect score on the test and even added a few extra credit points for good measure. I wanted to make sure I got the best score I possibly could. I did this by making sure I did all the extra credit question, and by double-checking all my work on the other questions to make sure I didn’t make simple mistakes. I also chose consumers math because it shows that I am able to listen and maintain a good grade throughout the class do to listening fairly well. Dave Ramsey is a very motivating person and I hope to go by his rules for money.
As a young adult I will need to be able to use my geometric skills for a few reasons. One reason I can think of is doing a home improvement project, or if I need to build something or set up something in my dorm. Also, geometry has furthered me in my math education. The result of that is being able to take an AP class this year and maybe receive a college credit for the course. I will need to be able to manage my money better in the future to support my family and the consumers math class has helped me understand that better.

Skills: Top pieces of work in Elective
Environmental science is an elective science class that is based around the plants and animals in and around Michigan. Also, it incorporates the basics that are involved with environmental science. The two quizzes that I chose are quizzes over Michigan birds and reptiles, on both of these quizzes I achieved a hundred percent. These quizzes were both visual quizzes in which we had to look at a picture of a given animal and give its common name on the paper.
Being a person with many qualities and being interested in many different things is something that is very valuable in the long run and in your future life. It allows you to be flexible and it shows that your mind is more complex than those who only focus on one thing. I believe these quizzes really show that I possess these qualities. I am not looking to go into a field that is related to anything this class has to do with. However, I am interested in broadening my mind and learning as much as I can.
As I had mentioned before, having a mindset of wanting to learn and gain knowledge is something that can truly separate you from the rest when it comes to certain aspects of your career. When being hired one of the things that separates you from the rest of the candidates are your special qualities. One of mine is the fact that I have the mindset that I do. I’m always striving for more and will not stop until I achieve it.

Exhibit: Business Management Worksheet
Benchmark: Academic
Skills: Top piece of work in Business/Technology
One of the requirements that hanover has to graduate is to complete at least on business class. I took both applied business systems and business management. In business management we were taught to be self-sufficient and to organize our thought electronically. The exhibit I have chosen is a vocabulary worksheet in which we had to look up, organize, and define every word in chapter three that was important. This chapter mainly focused on economic wants and needs along with the different types of economic systems. All of which I had to define and organize as a handout.
One important aspect to any job is being able to organize your thoughts and ideas and being able to take those and transfer them onto paper so others can understand as well. I chose this exhibit because it shows I have that skill down. I was able to decipher the chapter and record what I had read, and my understanding of it, onto a paper so that other people would be able to understand it as well. Although there are traits and skills that I believe cannot be taught, I do not believe that this is one of those. Being an organized person, in my opinion, can be taught. It may not be quickly, but you can still catch on.
As mentioned earlier, being organized and being able to put your thoughts onto paper is definitely a skill that you will need in your career, especially in the medical field. One of the most important parts of a medical physicians day is documentation. if you do not keep organized well-written documents you could be looking at legal trouble in the long run. Also, having all of your data, patient charts, and documents organized and well-written will make your job and others much easier when you or anyone else finds themselves trying to read the information or analyze it.
