ISM is officially over. This is the final assignment for the class. After writing this, there is nothing left and I am going to be graduating and heading off to college. This class has taught me so many things and let me find out my interests professionally and academically. I am following what I learned in this class and...

My final product is done. It is submitted, and that is all the official work that was left for the class. Now, all that is left is the final presentation night. I am excited for all of the work to be behind me. I've learned so much over the course of these last two years of ism and I...

This is the first time that I am doing this, but I know for sure it won't be the last. I am well into completing my campaign for my final product, and I realize that it will be a much more arduous task when I am creating it for a real political run. The work I have done all...

I am still in awe. Compared to last year, that event was much grander and much more enjoyable. Being in the star was not something I was able to really comprehend before the event happened. I didn't expect the scale of the event. The numbers and photos are different than actually seeing all of the people and being within...

This is the week of the research showcase. It is nearing the end of march. That means that ISM is almost over. This means that it is crunch time. There is going to be a lot in a short amount of time. The research showcase is the soonest major event that's coming up. It is this week and something I...

Students in the lunches walked around to our posters and asked us questions. Some teachers and faculty of the school also stopped by our posters and...

My poster board is completed. That is one of the major steps throughout the ism journey, there are only a few major things that are left for me to complete this year. I need to do the research showcase, complete my final product, and have the final presentation night. After those things I am done. While the class seems...

Last week in ism I did my original work reflection/final product introuction speech. My speech was 21 minutes long meaning that it was very close to the time that my final speech will be. That is good because last year I was struggling with time and making it long enough, but this year I am on a much better...

This week in ISM I am beginning the work on my poster board creation. Last year it was heavily directed and worked on by my sister who is now in Michigan meaning I have to work on it myself this year. I also edited my ISM speech to make it more applicable to my original work speech. It was...

Despite the namesake of this blog, I fear my poster board will be far from perfect. last year I received help from my sister, but this year they are not home. I will be working on this myself unless I am able to find people that are artistic and willing to help me. I plan to try and do...
