Week #8 of my research internship has been a rollercoaster. Progress has been slow but steady, with the Manhattan plot proving to be a monstrous obstacle. Despite my best efforts, I’ve spent countless hours refining it, only to hit roadblocks repeatedly. Not asking for help has held me back from finishing this project sooner, but now I realize that seeking assistance is sometimes the smartest move. My brother’s expertise in coding is exactly what I need to push forward. This humbling experience has taught me the value of teamwork and knowing my limits. I’m now ready to collaborate with my brother to finally finish!
