Defend your work and explain its significance to your project and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work. Provide evidence (photos, transcript, art work, videos, etc.) of the 30 hours of work.

Applied
How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better? Please include specific examples to illustrate this.
-Working out my brother was somewhat difficult because it took some trial and error to create a good workout/ diet plan that helped him reach his goal. By working him out I learned that you need to take an individuals weaknesses, strengths, and other factors into consideration to make sure they get what they want out of the experience.
