"Hello/Goodbye"
This Senior Capstone Project represents my final reflection at John Muir High School, showcasing the skills, knowledge, and experiences I developed over four years of high school. It serves as both a closing and a transition, highlighting my growth in media production, communication, and storytelling as I prepare to move on to Sonoma State University.
My Senior Presentation Theme and Organization Chart
For my senior presentation, I chose the theme “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now” because it reflects my high school experience, including starting during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and continuing through graduation. Despite challenges and unexpected changes, I stayed on track to graduate in June. The theme also represents my motivation to keep moving forward as I continue my education at Sonoma State University.

Senior Year: My Senior Defense Topic
