This past week was great! My first mentor visit with Vanessa was amazing, and I’m so excited to work with her the rest of this year. When I walked in, I didn’t expect to come out already thinking about original work ideas, but I was! Right now it’s looking like I’m going to target anxiety this year. I might choose to tie in my original work and final product again. It’s also looking like I might be able to get the community involved. Vanessa is very creative, and she’s already bringing out that part of me while we talk. She introduced me to a woman named Brene Brown, who has done TED talks over vulnerability and shame. This week, I’m going to start researching more about anxiety and the different ways that people can cope with it. The business symposium is also this week, so that will be great! This year will be a different vibe because I already have a mentor, but it’s always good to network with professionals and expand my connections! ISM just seems to be getting better for me, and I hope that I can keep up the nice pace I’ve set for myself this week and continue to stay on top of things.
