Today I finished my presentation for the Upper School! Since
I did most of the work on it yesterday, I just spent thirty minutes finishing
the final slides and reading it over a few more times. Although the
presentation seems to not have much in it initially, I tried to leave lots of
space for elaboration within the actual presentation. Honestly, the hardest
part about creating my presentation today was definitely trying to figure out
how to save the new Keynote presentations! Before the latest update, it was
incredibly easy to save presentations and send over Keynote. However, now it is
nearly impossible to do so without running into trouble. When I tried sending
the Keynote to a friend over the Lovett email server, I received error messages
that not all components were saved within the email. Luckily, I was able to
save the presentation as a zip file that can be attached to a jump drive and
shared easily (I am also pretty sure that it is fairly simple to save the zip
file as an email attachment using Google Drive).
When I got home from school, I
showed the presentation to my parents and practiced a version of what I might
say to the student body. When I gave the mock presentation to my parents, I
realized that I spent twenty minutes going through the slides and talking about
my experiences! I will definitely bring my phone on stage with me for the
actual presentation to gage my time. I also deleted some unnecessary slides
about Siempre Verde history because most Lovett students already know the
basics of our history and involvement with the Santa Rosa community. Overall, I
am feeling really excited about presenting my senior project. I am glad that I
gave myself to create the presentation because I am not sure if I would have
been able to complete it this weekend with AP exams coming just around the
corner. I also cannot wait to hear the presentations of my peers who are also
completing senior projects! It will be cool to see how others spent their extra
free time outside of formal classes (I am especially looking forward to seeing
the documentaries that people created because I love watching movies and short
films in my free time).
