When I first started this project, I didn't know it would be as stresstful as it was. I thought it would just be a lot of research and building, not stress on us when it came to writing, reading and calculating certain things for building the Casa De Miedo. Once I head when our deadline was, I knew it wasn't going to be easy pulling all of this off in the time we had. Especially since we also had Math, Advisory and 6th Period, which would give us less time every day.
The first few days of me starting the project, I completely knew that some things in this project would help me and would teach me topics that would help me in the future and in helping the future Co-Op when it came to build the next Casa De Miedo's. I was taught many topics in Physics, Humanities and Art.
Yes, Art! I was even exposed to the world of Alfred Hitchcock, who, as I learned, was a famous director who was known for his very scary and thriller movies created and directed by him. I learned about how to use the "Bomb Theory" from his movies, how to incorporate it into my Scary Story and Scene Design / Acting. Once I learned how to use it, it was easier to scare people and easier to understand how his movies made people interested.
In Physics, I learned how to Converge certain terms. It was interesting, but also a bit confusing. I am even confused now! I'm not really into the sort of "Measurements" and "Conversions" since I am more of a "Writing" and "Reading" kind of girl. But, even those topics helped me when I was measuring Black Plastic for my scene.
Humanities was where I learned how to create a Scary Story using One Setting and how to create the element of the "Bomb Theory" in our stories. I remember creating a Scary Story Skeleton to help me know where to put all the different parts of a scary story. I never knew that a story had to have a "Plot" especially since I only payed attention to reading the most interesting parts of a story, which I later learned were called the "Climax" of a story. It was all really interesting to me. And new. Especially new.
Starting the project, I was kind of shy since I didn't really know that many people, but once people got to know me, I was able to talk to them and share all my different ideas that I had.
Once the project ended, I feel like I grew, not only as a human being, but as a comunity member as well. I now know that I should never be afraid to ask one of my Co-Op members for help, on anything, I shouldn't take things personally because I know some people say certain things because they are stressed and I should never be afraid to speak up, because that is the most important thing of all. That is what the Co-Op has taught me so far. And I am blessed to be a part of this lovely comunity.
