“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

- Winston Churchill

​

This studio was, like everything else I've done as a senior, massively transformative for me. I was able to reflect on the work I've done, and see what went wrong where. I almost feel like this would have been a helpful experience my junior or sophomore year, because of the reflection. I completed most of the major objectives I wanted to finish, like my essay and parts of my portfolio. I set deadlines for the parts I did not complete. Overall I feel much more confident and secure, the feeling of which is more and more a valuable commodity as I spiral into the next phase of my life. Comparing this fall to the previous one, I have seen self-growth and feel much more satisfied with the work I'm doing. As I lie in bed, sleepless, reflecting on what might lie ahead for me, I at least had (and have) the comfort of knowing I have a plan. Last spring, when I initially meditated on my transition from childhood to adulthood, I envisioned a chaotic transition full of nasty surprises and stressful deadlines. My experience has been smoother than I expected (however still with stressful deadlines). Truly, this studio has been one of the most important I have attended, something I do not say lightly. I only wish I could have experienced it sooner.
