Room Creativity
1. I could make the room into a ring or have a designated area that will serve as a ring. I could put up weighted stools or stands and wrap caution tape around to act as rope.
2. For Answer 1, I might plan on showing them videos of different fights and having them match up the fights with the correct style. I don't have an Answer 2 yet because I decided to rethink my essential question.

The Product
What I gained from doing my senior project is a better understanding of how to eat healthier and a more effective workout routine because I need to keep up my health so that my stamina will remain at an optimal level for boxing and I need to eat healthier to give me energy. So far, I've cut out bacon, soda, fast food, and junk food. I've also changed my workout by adding more core exercises for better overall health.

Independent Component 2 Plan Approval
1. For right now, my independent component is going to be 30 hours of service learning, but if I can get into a competition that's what I'm going to do instead.
2. Service learning will ensure give me 30 hours of training and sparring. A competition will count all the hours of training, conditioning, practicing, and working out.
3. Service learning will show me what to expect when trying to box, it'll teach me how to be dedicated. A competition will give me experience in fighting in public and getting some fights under my belt to get my name out there.

Independent Component 1
Literal:
I, Joshua, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
I've completed hours of service learning for my independent component. Some of the things that I've done is find new places to train, become acquainted with new sparring partners and I've gained experience from sparring with so many different people.
Interpretive:
This represents 30 hours of work because I'm going to service learning four times a week. This constant training has increased my stamina, made me stronger, and more experienced in fights. The experience has made me into a better fighter because I know how to move, pace myself, and precise timing in my punches.
Applied:
This component helped me answer my EQ because I'm trying to figure out what a boxer must have or do to be remembered by future boxers and one of my best answers is dedication. The increased frequency of my participation in boxing has given me a taste of how dedicated you have to be to become the best. I only went four times a week, the greatest boxers of all time made boxing their only concern. This component gave me an idea of what the "greatest" have to go through.
