One More Month

This week in ISM, I had a phone call meeting with my mentor and updated my blog. During our phone call, Mr. Wilson and I discussed what else was left to build for my Final Product and the specific parts I used for each of the prosthetic legs. Because we are far ahead of schedule, I have time to make minor adjustments to each of the legs and understand how each suspension system would work as part of a full leg, rather than as an individual piece. Also, I am now able to focus more specifically on the other aspects of Final Presentation Night, and this includes writing and rehearsing my speech, updating my display board, creating invitations, and making a program brochure for the evening. As of right now, there is just over a month remaining before FPN, so I'm definitely starting to feel the pressure of having to accomplish so many different tasks at once. Even though the next few weeks are going to be challenging and difficult, I hope to make the most of this incredible opportunity and finish the year strong. I can't wait to share my ISM experience with my family and friends, and I know that all the hard work and effort I put in now will pay off in the end. This upcoming week, I will schedule another mentor visit at UT Southwestern, start writing my FPN speech, and finalize the template and content of both my FPN program brochure and invitations.
