Writers Block...Gone!

Monday, April 19th, 2021 - Sunday, April 25th, 2021

I was very focused this week on completing work on my Original Work and have been very happy with the progress that I have been making. I figured out the layout of my entire research paper and have gotten done with everything except the conclusion and a section about sources for getting mental health help. I had a helpful conversation with Mr. Pirtle this week who helped me get rid of my writer’s block by suggesting the two sections that I have to complete and also adding graphs to help visualize the data I have compiled. It has been great to get through the work and I am excited to finish up the research paper and present it.

The last thing we have to do this year is the final presentation, which I am excited about but also have some nervousness. I know the ability I have now from giving presentations and watching others throughout the year but this speech is much longer than the ones I have had to do. I plan to start working on this presentation by next week and hopefully will get through it as soon as possible! I am also preparing for my next mentor meeting with Dr. Uddin. I am happy that I can talk to my mentor about more than just Original Work and ask him more about other intriguing topics within psychiatry!
