Concluding my journey

This week will be my last week before final presentation night. I am confident about my work that I have and I feel well-equipped to present it all. I have a few minor things that I need to do before next Monday, but I am overall ready. This evening I will be going to my final mentor visit of the year. Dr. Correa is unfortunately unable to make final presentation night, so today is the last time we will meet for the year. I am so happy with all that I have learned from her and all I have been able to explore. I am bittersweet about this week, because my ISM experience is finally wrapping up. Graduation is days away, and I will be done with all of high school before I know it. I have very much enjoyed my mentor visits and will definitely miss them.

I want to take time this week to properly reflect on my experience in ISM. My professionalism and personal growth have blossomed beyond expectations. The ISM experience is truly a reflection of how much work that the student puts into it. As a result, my year has brought so many opportunities and lifelong memories. I am so excited to see what my future holds for me.
