Silent Surge (4/19/21-4/25/21)

After surviving an entire week of school and studying while my mental and physical health were in a poor state, it honestly felt like a miracle after I started to recover. This is quite a bit off-topic for ISM, but in the past two weeks I realized how important it is to take care of my health over my workload. For someone like me who has always sought greater heights with my learnings and just character development in general, it was honestly surprising for me to understand that I didn’t accurately understand my capabilities. It wasn’t that I couldn’t handle the work that I was receiving, but the mental strain that it placed on me is what caused my health to decline. Now that I am mostly back in the saddle, it should be fairly simple for me to conclude this year with a bang. Going back to the topic of ISM, at the times at which I actually could be productive I cleaned up the supporting documentation I had for my final product as well as synthesized all of my material into the final product packet to be turned in. My final presentation in front of the people who have made my journey to where I am now is tomorrow, and I plan on ending this year on a high note. I have already prepared fairly extensively so as to reduce the chance of errors. I’m back and better than ever.
