My journey through the Senior Project and my Senior year has been a lot like riding a bull.
![Page 4: Senior project PowerPoint07](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061304/54960f59b4795997618b45a6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
To successfully ride a bull, balance and consistency are key, just as they are in life. Without these, failure is imminent.

By balancing myself and being patient, I can successfully ride out
the tough bull.

Riding the bull was definitely no easy task. I had to hold on tightly
and be prepared.

LEARNING STRETCHMy patience was tested
Training was physically and mentally grueling
![Page 25: Senior project PowerPoint07](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061304/54960f59b4795997618b45a6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

TRAININGTRAINING WAS
RIGOROUS AND
CHALLENGING

Without properly preparing for the future, my ride on the
bull can prove to be disastrous.

Without balance, I can be thrown off the bull in the
blink of an eye.
![Page 33: Senior project PowerPoint07](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061304/54960f59b4795997618b45a6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
By remaining consistent and persevering through the tough ride, I can successfully pull through and succeed.
![Page 34: Senior project PowerPoint07](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061304/54960f59b4795997618b45a6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
In life, you cannot take everything at once. Like a bull ride, it’s a tough ride and you must hold on and
persevere in order to succeed.
