This week in ISM I have given a research speech on optometry,
made comments on other student’s speeches, and have also thought about who I want to be my mentor. Through my research speech, I was able to share with my class
what I have done in ISM so far. I shared with them the research I have done on
LASIK eye surgery as well as on eye dilation. I also talked about my research
interviews and my experience at the business symposium. Overall, I really
enjoyed giving the speech. The things that I need to work on are polishing my
movements, using more inflection, and using less fillers. By watching other
student’s speeches I was able to see the good things that they did and
hopefully include them in my future speeches. The third thing I did this week
was think about who I want to be my mentor. I really want to find a mentor who is patient and willing to teach me about optometry. I would
consider this week a success as I was able to complete all tasks and deliver my
speech. Next week, I will be working on completing another research assessment
and interview assessment. As well, I will finish my interview visit log.
