Projects Projects Projects..
There was once a project I spent a great deal of time and effort on. It was a physical science project. We were assigned the task of creating the Bohr model of the atom for a specific atom we drew from a "hat". I got the element Rubidium which was not that hard because it was lower considering the people who got 99 and such. As soon as my teacher announced we had the project and were to make it about us, I already knew what it was that I was going to do. I was going to make the protons and electrons out of M&M's that were painted with two different-color nail polishes, the electrons were going to be made out of Nerds candy and the electron's shells were going to be made out of foil and wire hanger. As soon as I started the project I realized it was going to be a lot harder than I first thought. I faced problems such as the super glue was not strong enough to hold things together, and the electrons and neutrons kept getting lost, and I ran out of foil 3 times. Then after I got everything as good as I was going to get it, the stand kept kept breaking. That happened two me twice. Once at home and once on presentation day. After I fixed it I ended up getting an A. If I had to do that all over again I would choose a different, more simple way because it was not worth the labor or the times spent; 5 weeks.

You may have been disappointed with the process and results, but at least you gained the experience.
