Weekly Report 10.29 - 11.02

Monday 10.29

  • We had guests over today and one of my dad’s friend is a financial manager. I spoke with him and felt very encouraged when he said he loved what he did for a living and that there is a bright future for the career.

Tuesday 10.30

  • In class, we watched a video about stress and a common misconception. I really enjoyed this video because when we were asked to write down three words on the sticky note last week, one of my words was “stressed”. I learned an approach I could take control my stress and live a healthier lifestyle.

Wednesday 10.31

  • For UT, I completed the Forty Acre Scholarship based on the stress management video we watched yesterday in class. I am so glad I saw that video because I learned that it really isn’t healthy to be constantly stressed, especially at this age.

Thursday 11.01

  • In class, I browsed through the internet to find an article regarding finance in the government setting.

  • We watched a Ted Talk about procrastination and I really enjoyed it because I could really relate to it. Additionally, I learned a lot from the speaker's verbal and nonverbal skills.

  • Completed a research assessment as an alternate to the interview assessment. I analyzed a passage that gave me an overview of corporate finance and how professionals in the field manage the responsibilities. I took the learnings from this article to compare it to my knowledge of finance in a nonprofit setting.

Friday 11.02

  • Created an outline of my research assessment and planned out the various things I can talk about and in what order I should go through with them.

  • Emailed the professional I really liked for a second interview in the hope to secure a mentorship

Reflection:

  • This week was very productive because we had a lot of work time in class. However, I feel I need to start focusing heavily on ISM now that my college apps are done. In fact, I emailed Mrs. Kim Grimes for a second interview where I will ask her if she would be available to meet with me again. I began preparing for my research presentation on next Monday. I really want to make this presentation good and begin to step away from my script. I will take the weekend to prepare for it. I really enjoyed the videos we watched this week it was a good review of standing up and strong during my senior year.

Action/Goals:

  • Meet Mrs. Kim Grimes for a second interview

  • Use my class time for wisely and to focus on ISM more heavily

  • Prepare for Research Presentation and deliver a unique and professional presentation
