I feel extremely excited about doing this project beforehand. I had never done a Cat 1 project, thus, the thought of actually making different solutions and pouring chemicals here and there was rather interesting to me and also rather new. However, I was most of the time absent during most of the lab sessions. I had other commitments that took up most of my time. Examples are : Science Olympiad Trainings , Third Language classes ( Japanese). However, I really thank my other two partners who have continued doing the project even though I was not there. Even more admirable was that they did not bear a grudge and they actually understood my predicament and also explained my situation the mentor. Thus, I tried really hard to make up to them by attending every session that I could. I tried to help them in one way or another, like helping them find the equipment, making the cue cards and trying to spot the flaws and mistakes in our project. I would not dare to claim that I did a lot for the project. However, I have to say that they did a lot of the project and sacrificed a lot of their personal time. Thus, I really have to thank them for their understanding and hard work. Nowadays, they are having their competition season which makes them extremely busy, pushing them to their limits to actually make time for the project. I have to make use of this time to actually make up to them for what they have helped me. Thus, this project have really made me learn a lot. I get to gain a better understanding about equipment that I had never used during my primary school days and also conduct an experiment that was very new and fresh to me. I also get to know real good friends that stood by me when I need help. They also gave me assistance and also taught me how to use the equipment when I needed help. They did not despise me for being in the dark about the on-goings of the project. Secondly, I really appreciate the help and patience of the lab staffs at the SRC biology lab for spending their time and patience in teaching us on how to operate the equipment and the various methods of sterilizing the equipment and chemicals usage. Last but not least, I want to thank our mentor , Miss Sandra Tan for actually making the effort to go down to the lab regularly to give us advice and also to give us step by step instructions on how to conduct the experiments. If we were supposed to conduct the experiment without her, I would not know of where we will be now. She takes time to listen to our question and also gives us feedback on what we should improve on. In any way, I would really like to say that I had benefitted a lot from this year’s project day.
500 words just nice :)
