Week 7

This week, I focused on getting my final product and presentation together. I began to plan the outline for my final product, the YouTube video, and I began to write the script as well. Working on my final product and script is not as challenging as I expected it to be. This was probably because my Spanish and Literature Capstone final projects had the same/similar format. 

In addition to working on the script and presentation outline, I began to gather my data from the surveys of both the non-track athletes and the track athletes. I had envisioned that my final product and presentation would include both video clips from the interviews and the data from the surveys shown in graphs. So I logged my data into Google Sheets and created graphs for my surveys. I believe that these graphs will help my audience understand my project, while also keeping them engaged throughout my presentation.

During my internship, I continued to meet with the Small Brooklyn Staff. The series of meetings that I have been having with the staff is starting to come to a close. I have interviewed almost everyone, and everyone’s path and story still amazes me because they are all so different from one another. 

In addition to meeting with the staff, I got to sit in on a talk that was held at Small Brooklyn Psychology with Thinking Caps, about executive functioning. This talk was about finding ways and methods to help students who are neurodiverse excel in school, specifically in homework. This talk was informative in many ways. I would like to open a psychiatry practice when I’m older, so this talk showed me how companies like “Thinking Caps” partner with practices like Small Brooklyn to help patients succeed in school and in life.

Next week, I hope to conduct interviews with track athletes, edit the non-track athletes’ interview clips, and finish my video script!
