The past week I have been planning my board to present at the ISM showcase. I decided that I wanted to include a QR code to my original work presentation, and print out a few copies of the informational pamphlet that I created, as well as copies of my assessments, on top of the required information such as mentor bio and photo, my mission statement, and the quote that has been driving my study. Speaking of mentor... I have a mentor! My mentor, who will help guide me throughout the remainder of my independent study, and share her experience and knowledge, is Mrs.Danesa Daniel. She is a therapist who specializes in eating disorders which is extremely helpful for my independent study. She also is a counselor for other mental struggles such as anxiety, perfectionism, body image and self esteem issues, and counsels all ages, genders, sizes and sexual orientations. The diversity of her clients is important to me because I believe it is important for society to understand that everybody struggles with things and especially with the stigma surrounding eating disorders, I want to show that there isn't a stereotype, eating disorders look different for everybody. I hope to express these ideas in my speech at the showcase. I'm finishing up the details on my showcase display board, and can't wait to share all the information I have found throughout my study.
