I was a bit late to the party, but better late than never, as they say. This week has been fulfilling; I’m starting to see the fruits of my labor, and it’s truly motivating.

Monday was spent making final touches to my PowerPoint. (Needed more slides to convey further points, change fonts, add images of data results from python, etc.)

On Tuesday, we had our weekly meeting, which was both inspiring and educational. A pattern is emerging from the two speakers we’ve had so far: the importance of a growth mindset over a fixed one, having a plan, and leaving room for things to happen as they will. This was confirmed once again to me by Dr. Lynn Frostman’s journey. Later on, I met up with my mentor, who reviewed my PowerPoint. I’m grateful for her keen eye; as she pointed out errors and helped me make necessary changes where needed.

Wednesday was dedicated to deciding on the approach for my abstract, using templates and structures provided by my mentor. I’m still contemplating my options.


And just like that, week 6 is a wrap.
