Raise Awareness of Animal-Testing by Creating All-Natural Beauty Products
 | Graduation Project Judges 5935 Raleigh Rd. Benson, NC 27504 To the Senior Board Judges: As an animal lover, it has always been an important
factor in my life to put a stop to animal cruelty. There is a special place in
my heart for animals that are victims of abuse and torture. Through the graduation project, I found a way
to personally make a difference and take the necessary steps toward ending
animal-testing. The research paper was a solid foundation for me to build on
for my graduation project because it gave me the insight I needed concerning
the treatment of animals. By encouraging others to use animal-friendly
cosmetics through my graduation project, I feel accomplished in the fact that I
had an impact on creating a world where the improper testing of animals no
longer exists. Reflecting back on my final project, I have realized
that I have the ability to make a difference in the world. I have learned that
I am capable of great things and can touch lives through working for a cause.
By completing the graduation project, I discovered that a little effort can result
in a great impact. This project taught me that hard work and dedication can
change the way the world views the treatment of animals and by doing so, I have
the power to work towards a society free of animal cruelty. There were a few difficulties that I faced during the
course of my graduation project. One challenge I faced was finding recipes and
figuring out how to take them and improve them to fit the needs of my project.
I also had to find a way to stretch my money to cover the costs it would take
to purchase the ingredients and materials I needed to host my make-up party. It
was difficult to find cost-friendly ingredients as well as ensure that I have
purchased enough. In fact, after my first shopping trip I discovered that I had
not purchased enough of a certain ingredient and had to return to the store to
buy more. Throughout the process of completing my project, I also had some
trouble with the technological aspects. I had to create invitations as well as
informational pamphlets for my make-up party. In order to make the pamphlets
professional, I took a risk in using Microsoft publisher which I was not very
familiar with. Once I had gained the knowledge needed to complete the pamphlet,
I realized I did not have the software to print them. In the end, however, my
project was an overall success. Although there were some bumps in the road, I was
successful in hosting my make-up party and teaching others how to create their
own cosmetics. The purpose of my graduation project was to encourage people to
use animal-friendly products and I believe that I accomplished that goal. The
graduation project will benefit me later in life because I have discovered new
things about myself and the ability I have to overcome difficulties and make a
difference in the world. Sincerely, Caitlyn Bergmann |
