During the week of 8/28 to 9/3, the students gave their first introductory speeches in the independent study and mentorship class. Along with the introductory speeches, we also began to research our topic and create our call and correspondence contact list for use in the upcoming weeks.
This week in ISM was successful in many ways. One of the main accomplishments was presenting the first introductory speech in front of the students, because I could see the improvement in my confidence and eye contact skills from my introduction speech from last year to now. Although I have improved from last year, one of the struggles I faced was being able to present the speech with limited dependency from my notecards. This is a goal that I want to continue to work towards and accomplish by final presentation night.
Another thing that was worked on this week was the call and correspondence contact list. With this list, I have also gotten the opportunity to reach out to different professionals in the medical field that pertains to but aren’t exactly cardiothoracic surgeons. Last year, I focused on professionals who are close by in the Frisco and Plano area, but I hope to interview those who are located in the Dallas area to broaden my network. In the upcoming weeks, I hope to call some professionals and schedule some interviews!
