This week for ISM I have one research assessment and one interview assessment due on Friday

, but because I don't have another interview to talk about, I have to double up on my research assessments. I’ve never done that before and I’m definitely nervous for it. So in preparation, I’ve started annotating one of the articles I found and it is extremely informational. I've have never understood so much about a topic and been so interested. The first article I found was over suicide prevention and although it was upsetting to read, I was able to have a new perspective on how people act when they are even considering suicide. The second article was over how veterans adjust to normal life once they are out of the military. When I read both articles the statistics given in both are both upsetting but informational. For once, I’m actually excited to write my research assessments because I know these are gonna be good. Also last week Mrs.Brittain went on maternity leave and I am happy and sad. I’m happy for her but upset because now I don't have a teacher who's gonna laugh at all my really bad jokes. Today, I actually called one of the professionals I interviewed a couple of weeks ago and scheduled another one to ask if she would like to be my mentor. Now, my goal for next week is to prepare myself accordingly and hope that this interview goes well. See you guys soon!
