in class I was excited and thought that it seemed like an interesting project that would be relatively easy. The first day I began working on the project I knew that I hadn’t given it enough credit. I never realized how difficult it would be to create seven meals, especially meals that met the food pyramid guidelines.

This abstinence experience project challenged myself, even though I may might as well have chosen to quit alcohol or drugs, just as easily, as choosing a food behavior was almost as difficult.

seniors, had an opportunity to participate in a year long project before graduation called The Senior Project. Initially, I did not know whether this project would be a beneficial experience for me. Also, I did not know if I would learn something that I never knew before. The Senior Project was a challenging activity that allowed me to use my academic skills to research a complex issue and find effective solutions.

Project management has become a crucial part of any company in this twenty-first century. It not only helps the company expand and grow, but also helps target smaller segments of the operations at a time and upgrade or update it to increase productivity of that segment (Kerzner, 2013). Managing projects is a challenge every project manager faces. Finding different ways of improving a project’s management is very important. Thus, utilizing lean and Six Sigma processes can help minimize project
poverty, whether you know it or not. We normally only think of people in poverty as the extreme cases of homelessness and malnutrition, but even families that have homes and food can still fit into this category in a less extreme case.

The Milpitas Food Pantry is a place that helps people who need food, clothes, and other goods. Not only can you donate during November and December but it’s also beneficial to donate and volunteer throughout the whole year. 80% of the food at the pantry goes to families with kids that are our age. Most people in this school are able to have three meals every single day, but others don’t have that privilege. As a child you would have one meal per day, would that be satisfying? So, donating fresh,

stamp it out, time is running short. Food security is one of the largest problems facing our world today. To be "food secure" a country must have enough food to feed its population and be capable of feeding its growing population in the future. About 700 million people today do not have enough food available to keep themselves healthy. They are plagued by hunger, malnutrition, disease, and death.

For my project, I decided to give up junk food. For junk food, I made an effort to include fast food, soda, chips microwaveable meals, etc. About halfway through the project, I felt the term junk food was a little too broad. It was also a little unethical for me because of my work schedule. I work in the mall, and often times I’m working a double shift, 10am – 9pm. Not often do I bring lunch because of limited resources at home. With that being said, restricting fast food would mean that days throughout
