Product

Brochure After it was done, I gave them to: New Bern Surgical Associates. Poster Website agpquittingsmoking.sqsp.com What I Did...

Video Link: GP Interviews - YouTube

Impact My product impacts others because it's for everyone. I didn't just outline the reasons to quit, I outlined the reasons why people do. My website was to show people why others smoke. It was also to get people from smoking.

Mentor I had a mentor. It was really fun working with her. She helped with grammar during the process and keeping me on track.

What I Learned... I learned how managing the time you get is important. I learned not everyone likes to be interviewed. I learned making a website isn't easy.

My product relates to my paper because I directly took my paper's information and put it into a website and brochure format. Connection Between Paper and Product

Successes I got my project done. Putting the interview video together was easy. Brochure I had to switch everything from weebly to squarespace. Paper Time and internet connection. Challenges

I will not be pursuing this as a career option. I will be going into the medical field to try and help people. I will take away the fact the knowledge and try to help some of the people in my family, who still smoke and have smoked for a long time. Career and “Take Away” Thoughts
