"So far, this project has been been completely out of my comfort zone. I am a pretty shy person, and networking and talking to new people to find a project and a mentor has not been my strong suit. It has just felt awkward talking to many different people who have such different ideas of what this project could be. Though it has been hard, I hope throughout the year I can better my speaking and people skills, so I will be able to have a normal conversation with someone without being nervous and stumbling over a lot of my words."

"As of right now, I have completed about 10 fieldwork hours and have started to think with my mentor about what tangible object that I can get out of my project. An example of an idea that we have thought is a case study. In this case study I would look at one specific injury or disability, research, and write a paper about that injury. What I have been thinking about looking at is toe walking, a condition that children can develop in young children in many different conditions. Toe walking has been known to correlate to children that have muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, or other generalized diseases of the nervous system."

"I have realized that I need to really get started and get a good amount of work done on this case study in order to get it done before April break. I would say the research should get doe within the next week or two, so I will be able to write the actual study within the last few weeks before the deadline."
