During this
week in ISM we were to finish a Business Symposium Assessment, a third Research
Assessment, and a Topic Proposal. In the Business Assessment, I talked about my
experience with the three interviews I had and what I learned from each
interview. Although the Business Symposium was at first frightful, I felt quite
excited when introducing myself to new people and new professionals. Sometime
this week we were assigned to write “Thank You” cards to the professionals that
attended the Business Symposium. Everyone received a minimum of two “Thank You”
cards, while others requested for more than two for extra credit. I plan on
completing my “Thank You” cards next week. Next in the third Research
Assessment I explored the discovery of a new protein found within the heart
system that can cause arrhythmias. This
protein called Pcp4 caused arrhythmias to occur when in low amounts, but
because of this discovery new drugs are being made to help patients with
arrhythmias. I understood from this article that science is still progressing and
new foundational information will be found every day for years and years to
come. Lastly in the Topic Proposal I explained the reasons of why I am
exploring in the field of Cardiology and what character traits I have to help
me through my study. This week has been a wonderful week and I hope to
accomplish more in the future.
