This is a start of a new year, 2019. As I begin to reminisce on the year I left behind me, I thought of all I accomplished and the different strategies I can utilize to improve in the coming year. In regards to my ISM journey, I have secured an amazing mentor to lean on and learn alongside, I have created an original work that has taught me a lot about teenage behaviors with food and a great way to better understand clients, and lastly I have improved and pushed my public speaking skills and professionalism early as a young adult. Looking forward into the new year, many things lie ahead for me in ISM. I have to begin my Final Product, which will require much more time, as well as, prepare for the Final Showcase. On the topic of my Final Product, I already have amazing ideas in the works to design and develop an event to fundraise and raise awareness for the Eating Disorder community. This project will require networking, deadlines, and intentional time to follow it through, but that just allows for more growth. Nevertheless, this new year has a lot in store and I can’t wait to see what it brings.
