Reflection paragraph on process

 What was easy or difficult? The easy thing was finding pictures about my topic and writing a caption telling how it relates to my topic. It was difficult to find to do the wordle because I didnt know what words to use. What did I enjoy most, and what did I dislike? The thing I enjoy doing the most was the animoto video. The thing I dislike doing was quote, paraphrase, and citation because it was hard to find a good quote. If I had this project to do again, what would I do differently?If I had to do this project the thing I would do different is use a topic that I know more about so when I'm finding information I would know it so it would be like a review.

Reflection paragraph on findings

What were the most important facts I learned? I learned that students will not be notified about their gpr, they would be placed on academic alert. Students will receive extra help from their advisers to get their grade point rate up to be eligible. Intramural sports help you build great character and it helps you become more confident in yourself. What was the most surprising? The most surprising thing is that several grants are offered to qualifying students. Grants are not like loans they don't have to be repaid. The questions that I still have: Do the professors take it easy on you if your late for class? If you play sports and you don't meet the requirements of an athlete and your GPA isn't what your suppose to have do you have to sit out until you reach that level and pull your GPA up? How do you feel about your topic now? I feel great about my topic I've learned a lot of things that I didn't know. I also feel like if somebody ask me some questions that I did research on I should be able to give them the answer they looking for.

Finding paragraph #3

What type of schlorships do they offer? Scholarship award amounts and eligibility criteria vary widely. While the number of scholarships grows each year, funding is limited. Because of the high caliber of the applicant pool, many deserving students are not awarded scholarship assistance. All accepted entering freshmen and enrolled continuing students will be automatically considered for each University-administered scholarship for which they are eligible. Transfer students must have completed one full-time semester at Clemson University before they will be considered for University scholarships. Students must be U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens (eligible for federal Title IV aid) to qualify for consideration. Official registrar office records will be consulted to determine major, class, GPR and other selection criteria. It is not necessary to apply for a particular scholarship or have prior knowledge of eligibility criteria except for a few select restricted scholarships.  These specific scholarships are listed in the "Restricted" section below.Quote: Several grant programs are available to qualifying students. Unlike loans, grants don’t have to be repaid.

Each team will only be allowed one (1) former Walk-On/Practice Player in their respective/associated sport.Quote: Any player or fan who uses foul language, violently protests a call, or curses at an official or supervisor will be ejected from the game.

Finding paragraph #1

What are the students like at Clemson? A majority of Clemson students hail from the Southeast and hold fairly conservative political beliefs, and you may feel out of place if you do not fit the mold. But on the whole people say that you’ll get along fine with a cheerful disposition and genuine Tigers enthusiasm. For students looking for activities other than football, there are many teams, clubs, and organizations to join, from Greek life (a fifth of the student body participates) to the school’s Lindy Hoppers (it’s an old-timey dance) to the Dixie Skydivers. Outdoorsy students take advantage of the beautiful climate to play golf, hike, bike, or enjoy nearby Lake Hartwell. Many Clemson students report that their school is big enough that social circles don’t feel cramped, but not so big that they feel like a number. I think the size of  Clemson is just right, because you usually know at least one person in your classes, but its not so small that everyone knows everything about you” writes a junior English major. The welcoming atmosphere makes the campus community seem more tight-knit than at other large schools. She continues, “I think the best thing about Clemson is all the students because most people are really friendly, and you can meet a lot of people.”

What i already know about my topic

I already know that Clemson has a nice and big facility because I been there two years ago with my seventh grade teacher. Since I was young, I always liked Clemson because of their colors.Clemson is one of the most popular schools in South Carolina. Clemson has one main street with a few shops and restaurants. I know that Clemson University is a public institution and was found in 1889. Clemson is a vibrant student-centered that thrives leadership, collaboration and a winning spirit in athletics, academics, and life. I found all my information out by researching when I realized that I wanted to be a true fan of the Clemson Tigers. 

The story behind my topic choice

I chose Clemson because that's where I picture myself going to college at. When I went to Clemson for a football game two years ago I liked their facility and thought I would be interested in being a student there. It's easy to make friends because everyone greet you with a smile. Clemson is not really a party school and I'm not going to college to party I'm going to further my education. I would like to be in the student section at the football games cheering my tail off. I like doing outdoor activities and Clemson have a lot to offer. I want to go to Clemson because I love their colors (purple and orange).My family told me they believe in me and know if I put in the work ethic I will succeed my goal and be a Clemson Tiger.
