Summarize the purpose of your Genius Hour project in 140 characters.
My Genius Hour project was designed to help inform the students of Kingsford High School and hopefully other people about the Transgender community. As one of the only known transgender students in my school I hope to help other students who are questioning or hiding feel like they are accepted.

Explain the process of your Genius Hour project. Be reflective. Be contemplative. Explain and describe your journey. (No Less Than Three FULL Paragraphs.)
My journey to reach my goal has been a bit hard due to the fact that there’s not a whole lot of information on transgender people. Some struggles also have been was writing the pages, I have noticed as I worked on this project that my writing can sometimes come of a rude or sometimes confusing, my job is not to confuse my readers on this topic due to the many misunderstanding on this topic.
I have added a page dedicated to mental illness. A major thing people within the community face. I enjoyed working on this project throughout the year because it’s something I feel strongly about and something I want many people to feel the same.
The process wasn’t as hard as I first thought it was going to be. I was at first going to get information for both America and Canada for surgeries and stuff but I decided to leave that out since it was going to be quite difficult to find many things on that before I could get the tips or information from a doctor about it. Many things I wanted to has actually been left out due to time and knowledge.

The intention For Genius Hour is NOT only to learn, but ALSO to share your knowledge with others who can and will benefit from your learning. How did you share your learning? What do you hope the result might be? (No Less Than Two Full Paragraphs.)
I shared my knowledge and learning through my web page. My experiences or others have been incorporated into my project to help pass on the information to others so they too may have knowledge and so they aren’t ignorant or hopefully not narrow minded.
I hope the results will be more people understanding and accepting the differences some individuals face. I hope to also make a difference and change some numbers for my community. My dream was a simple one and my knowledge on this topic is immense.

If you could do anything different with your Genius Hour project what would you do differently and why? (No less than two full paragraphs.)
Would I do anything differently? I’m actually happy on how this project turned out but if I’d had to do things differently I would have added the information I decided to leave out in the beginning. I would have talked more to people who gone through the surgeries or went on hormones and how they affect them or the changes that happened. I possibly would have added stories on how people came out about this or how they were treated and what they did to prevent hate.
There are so many different kinds of ways that a person can deal with this I do hope I can find out more ways and help people with other things that go along with this subject. Currently with the information I know and looked up I did the absolute best I can with helping introduce this to my school whether it was effective or not is up to how the students take and handle the information.

Reflect on what you did well during this Genius Hour process? Note your successes and accomplishments. (No less than two full paragraphs.)
My accomplishments may sound simple and easy but to me, I accomplished something by actually doing my project on this. How I am reflects in my work, how I want to help people and get them the information they need is present. I have had many issues when dealing with trying to be myself and not let my anxiety get in the way. Having the option and the idea to do this, to get the information I so desperately need to get out there out there makes me happy.
My high school career has been a struggle, from suicidal thoughts to depression even coming out was hard but being able to get more of the important information to help other people like me is an amazing accomplishment. I do wish I thought of adding some tips on other things like mental illness or stuff in that nature.

Not much for pictures of the journey due to the fact there isn't much I can show other than the page it's self.
