This week, Texas has obviously decided that winter is here. In a matter of two days, the temperature dropped from forty five degrees in the mornings to a chilly thirty degrees! In ISM this week, we created our Research Showcase invitations and peer critiqued the designs and content with our classmates. We spent a day going over important things to know before the event about set up and the way the night will unfold.The big day at the Ford Center at the Star Stadium is January 18th, which is rapidly approaching! I am really looking forward to getting to share what I've learned in my ISM journey thus far with my family and friends on the same field that the Dallas Cowboys practice. In events unrelated to ISM, National Honor Society organized its annual door decoration event for teachers around the school this week. We had sixty hard-working members show up to cover doors in festive wrapping paper and colorful decorations to get in the holiday spirit! On Friday night, I was able to make the trip to see the Vitruvian Lights in Addison. Seeing the bright and colorful lights and their reflections onto the surface of the lake was truly breathtaking. I had a productive and action-packed week, and as Research Showcase continues to creep up, I will continue to work on preparations in ISM!

Traditionally, the first week back after Thanksgiving break is busy and hectic, with everyone trying to catch up with their classwork and extracurricular activities. This week was no exception! Officer and member meetings for National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, and National Art Honor Society as well as work at Kumon Math and Reading Center, where I tutor students, filled my schedule this week. One exciting event I did was a volunteering event with Junior Frisco Women's League at the Children's Medical Center of Plano for a Christmas Party and Tree Lighting. My duties that night were to set up and run holiday-themed arts and crafts stations for the patients and the children of the doctors at the hospital. I thought that the opportunity to volunteer at a children's hospital aligned perfectly with my ISM journey in pediatrics. I was able to interact with pediatric patients and I was even able to see pediatricians, nurse practitioners, and nurse technicians at work. One thing that stuck with me was the fact that I was able to see medical professionals off work and with their families at the Christmas party. This allowed me to realize that pediatricians really do have a balance between their work and personal lives. Spending time at the Children's Medical Center of Plano was an amazing experience, and I will take every chance I get to go back and help out! |
