So far, my project has been great. I have enjoyed everything I have completed so far, and I am excited to continue working on it for the next few weeks. I have to say that so far, something that has worked out very well is talking to people within the field. Although when I started my project, I knew that I would be speaking to people, I didn’t have any meetings scheduled, or anybody in mind. So this aspect has gone to plan, but also not gone to plan in a certain sense. A new question that I have discovered is why is the financial world so different from many other sectors? It has endless possibilities and paths that you can take based on your own interests, professions, or just opportunities that are presented to you. My goals for the project have changed only the slightest bit. I think that I want to continue trying to find an area that interests me because it will be helpful for my motivation in terms of what I want to do within the future. I have definitely been happy so far with my project, the experience has been great being able to talk to so many different people, and definitely I think that I should try to start taking more photos. I think that it is hard for me to find things to photograph considering my project isn’t exactly easy to capture. I’m not sure what I would photograph, but I think I could try. I think that the progress I have made towards my original goals is great. I have continued to build on my understanding of finance, and learned so much about what is ahead of me. I want to learn as much as I can in this period of time in order to prepare myself for college. I do feel that overall my project has been very self driven and looking directly at things myself, so there has been a lot of pressure on me in terms of things that I have to do. Something I think that is also interesting to reflect on is the community service I have done so far. I think that the work I have been doing at God’s Love We Deliver has been amazing so far. I have enjoyed meeting many different people and talking to others. Also the tasks are quite repetitive and boring, I know during the moment that I am taking action to create a direct impact on someone else’s life, which is what keeps me motivated and continuing my work. The organization is full of great people who all always just want to help and keep things going. This is similar to a lot of people I have talked to at different financial institutions. It is great to have people who are happy to talk to others and share their experiences and show understanding and knowledge. Advice is important to take in from everyone and something so far I have learned that I wasn’t expecting so much was the fact that public speaking can be so important. Although it depends on your position, it is very important if you want to be influential or successful.
