This week, I explored more about neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) in my research assessment. I learned a lot about autophagy and how melatonin has protective properties against NDDs. I am starting to think that I want my original work or final product to be related to NDDs, but I'm still having a difficult time creating ideas. Along with my research assessment, I also made the first draft of my resume this week. It was a bit disappointing coming to the realization that I had little to no achievements related to neurosurgery or neurology, other than placing at a Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) competition. I am also beginning to connect with neurosurgeons and professionals involved in neurosurgery, so I am one step closer to finding a mentor that I can learn more about neurosurgery under. The Independent Study and Mentorship (ISM) program provides me with so many new opportunities that I would otherwise never do in other classes. This includes making a LinkedIn, contacting adults outside of school-sponsored activities, and actually going out of my way to interview professionals in a field of study I am genuinely interested in. I am pleased with the work I did this week in that I got to learn 'More About Neurodegenerative Diseases,' but I look forward to weeks after today, because I will have hopefully completed my first interview and expanded my network of connections.
