It’s hard to believe that we soft launch tomorrow to both the class and WBENA. This project and Lini, Tasha, and Alex have been such a large part of my life these last three months and as we close in on the launch it also means our time working together is coming to an end. I have learned so much about teamwork and what it takes to build something. At the beginning of this project I couldn’t have imagined what it would take to pull this off. I’m so proud of the work we have done together and I can’t wait to see where Tasha takes it next.  This pride and excitement is slightly tempered by my sadness that I won’t get to work with my team anymore. This semester I have admired Tasha’s leadership, Lini’s steadiness and determination, and Alex’s calm methodical thoughtfulness. I’ve become quite used to their presence in my life and it will take some time to get used to the change. I’m so grateful to have gotten this opportunity to learn and grow with my team and my peers.

Things are quickly wrapping up with the sites impending launch and hopefully minimal edits before the showcase. Later this week I will reach out to Nadia, Dr. Ostashewski, and Dr. Sonevetsky and update our social media sites. Lini, Tasha, and Alex are working so hard to get this project over the finish line and I’m excited to see what people will think of what we built.

Looking forward, I’m finally feeling up to revisiting my own project proposal from last semester with the skills I have learned from this class and through this project. Now that I have a slightly better grasp on what it takes to build a project I’m excited to see what I can accomplish.
