IDP Project

       The first day we began the Interdisciplinary Project was probably the most chaotic. We were put into groups which we could not choose, this left us with the worry of whether to trust the other members to do their part or not. It was not until a week later that the group actually began to discuss our topic,Hemophilia,

and work on it. Throughout the entire time, we never met outside of school which amazed me that we still got everything done. We first worked on the essay that had to go alongside the power point and presentation. I was honestly amazed at how well we worked together despite the amount of clowning around we did. In the end we each did our part and the day of the presentation was arriving. Our set time was at 5:45 and in Ms. Kopaititch's room. Maria and I were the first to arrive to the school from our group. After a few minutes the other 2  members arrived, Marisela and Santiago. We were worried when we found out our last member would be arriving at a later time. It was probably the nerves that had us worried as we were told we would be presenting in front of panelists and medical experts. Around 5:30, as promised, the final member arrived and we were ready. We added extra information, last minute, to our presentation but nothing we couldn't handle. We rehearsed a couple times and as 5:40 rolled around we were called up to our room. We entered and greeted and went through our presentation flawlessly, with only a few 'ums' to stop us. Then came the questions. I was hoping they wouldn't have any but i also wouldn't know if that was a good sign or a bad one, and so i waited. A nurse from the panel raised her hand and shot us question after question. I stepped up and answered most of them without hesitation even though i knew only a little information. They were satisfied with our answers and so they took our picture, we packed up, and we were off. I was only excited as we escaped the room that it was all finally over. We walked around for a while and saw a few presentations then went home. I never looked forward to the final idp project and showcase although everything was a success.
