Harrison – Day 2
- Today I woke up a bit late because I kept pressing snooze on my alarm. I woke up feeling very sore from a workout I did last night in the room while Rodney was playing video games on the couch right next to me. Great motivation!! (That’s sarcastic if you can’t tell) (his arm is broken so it is ok, and I wish him a speedy recovery)
- This morning, we did a class on the craft of research which was taught by our wonderful mentor Yvonne. It was interesting to learn about how a problem statement works and how to craft it. Our project team even started crafting our own problem statement, but it still needs a lot of improvement and updating. However, updating is just an important part of the writing process.
- Lastly, before I am writing this, we had a wonderful luncheon lecture by Dr. Jim Oliver. It was interesting to hear about his life journey as he went through more than most professors that I have had the pleasure of speaking with. He worked in the industry, is a professor, and is a successful entrepreneur. He taught us many life lessons like how everyone goes through imposter syndrome or to under promise and over deliver. I find it very useful to listen to people who have been through a lot and have lived life because they made mistakes and have failed so that we can learn and make different mistakes and fail in other ways. If you do not pay attention, it will just result in the same mistakes other people have learned from before you. (Wow I should be quoted for that. Just came up with it on the spot)
- I am looking forward to going to State Gym tonight and getting a workout in after our gym tour. I hope to notice some great progress after the summer. I would provide before and after pictures, but I feel that might be a bit inappropriate for this blog post setting.
