Hi everyone!
So this past week has been a little hectic. We have hit the ground running, trying to prepare ourselves for FPN (Final Presentation Night). So that means, getting our portfolio's ready, getting invitations done, preparing our speech, getting our rooms set up, etc. The list just keeps getting longer while our time keeps getting shorter.
I think this is about the time when everyone is in panic mode, and I can with out a doubt say, this is the most nervous yet excited I have ever been about something. As many of you know, I have never been one to enjoy public speaking so even saying that I am about to give an hour long speech terrifies me. And although that is about to happen and I am scared out of my mind, I am also thrilled. If I never took ISM, I would have never been able to say that I am about to give an hour long speech, over graphic design at the age of 17. I can't even believe the amount of growth I have had from just under a year. I feel like a completely different person in terms of confidence levels, and skill levels.
I am also extremely grateful to be in ISM for the next school year as well, and be able to grow even more in my field and in my knowledge, skills and confidence.
But it wasn't me alone, who helped me achieve what I have today. The amazing support from my friends, family, mentor and even wysong have always seen my potential and pushed me to strive for things that I never thought possible, and for that I am forever grateful. ISM has changed my life in ways I never thought about. Getting a better shot at a job, or even college all because of the experience I learned from this class. Its truly amazing.
