Life is a series of events that accumulate progress. It is that progress that we deem success. This past week I reflected on my speech that I presented in class, and as I filled out my reflection worksheet I realized how much I have progressed in my public speaking abilities, as well as, my general knowledge as a student. Nevertheless, I am not perfect or even close to successful yet, but I have shown progress so that is what keeps me encouraged. Secondly, this week I have mainly focused on my final product. I have worked with my Mentor on the clarity of the event, and different details that need to be thought out in regards to the event. Designing and figuring out advertisements are also very challenging and tedious so I can't wait to finish up with that and see how that impacts the success of the event. It has also been hard to find 6 hours to devote to the product because it is dance contest season so I have been incredibly busy. That has taught me time management as well as the utilization of higher level thinking. Furthermore, we found a gallery that will hold the event for free, which is an amazing blessing and allows me to budget for so many different things, so I am very excited to see what this next week brings for my event, Mentor, and myself.
