Self Reflection

• I think I did well on this presentation because I worked really hard on it and I tried my best. I feel I should get exceeds expectation because I gave a lot of information about my topic. Also because I told almost everything about my project. I feel proud of my self because I know my topic very well and I did a good job on it. The reason that I chose Ronaldo for my project is because when I grow up I want to be like him. I always do my best when it comes to soccer or any other sport that I like.
