This past week has been very successful. I feel very good about the amount of work that I did, and I feel I am on track to having a great final product.
Last Monday my WISE class listened to an NPR talk about pushing boundaries and expanding the comfort zone. We got two questions as prompts and I decided to not respond to them until after my productive week.
-How has my comfort zone expanded because of this project?
One thing that I did to expand my comfort zone was quit the tennis team. It is not directly related to my project but one of my goals with my project was to prioritize my commitments.
Another thing that I did to expand my comfort zone was I set up two interviews with women I have never met. I was nervous about the impression I was making and my specific word choice in my emails. I have some other contacts for people to interview, but I don't have emails, I have phone numbers, which means I am going to have to make some phone calls.
-How can I expand my comfort zone in the future?
Every Sunday I will reflect on what I did to expand my comfort zone. Next week I am going to conduct an interview with a teacher at BJM, and I am going to make some phone calls to set up future interviews. I will reflect on this next Sunday.
