Journal 8 - Interviews

  This week, I gained a lot from my peers reviewing my curriculum vitae. They had a keen eye for detail, and I had many changes.   This week, I was bummed because the interview I hoped to happen fell through.   Due to her travel schedule, the interviewer couldn’t do it on such short notice.   This is a person I admire and aspire to be like.   She is prominent in her field, studying PTSD in cancer patients and their families.   I reached out to Dr. McCarroll and Dr. Cantrell to help me with my interview project.   Dr. McCarroll’s Ph.D. is in HDFS, and she has a CCLS, so I aspire to be like her.   I also admire Dr. Cantrell.   I hope to ask them questions about pursuing my CCLS, in conjunction with my Ph.D. in HDFS, Child and Adolescent Development.   I also want to ask them some questions about the possible dissertation topics related to Child Life, in addition to HDFS.   I need to ask them about possible topics, pa...

Journal 12: Self-Care

Sorry for the late post! I was admitted to the hospital last Thursday and was discharged on Tuesday. For this post, I want to talk about self-care. My goal is to take care of myself better while going through the program. This includes eating on time, taking my meds on time, exercising 30 minutes for 5 days a week, and refraining from drinking coffee, which will elevate my blood pressure. I didn’t expect how difficult the Ph.D. program would be, especially Advanced Statistics. It is a lot more work than I expected. I feel like I work on it every day, all day. What are y’all thoughts?? I want to know your thoughts on what to do for self-care, such as a hot shower or bubble bath, reading something fun, eating out with family or friends, cooking, meditating, or doing some kind of exercise. So my point is, reward yourself after a grueling week of work! Michelle

Journal 11: Elevator pitch

  I want to define and demonstrate an elevator pitch. An elevator pitch has two components: the headline and the elaboration. The headline is a concrete, one-sentence summary of your work. If the person asks follow-up questions, then give the elaboration, which should take no longer than a minute. Michelle- Human Development and Family Sciences Headline:  I study if teenage boys and girls have the same experience with chemotherapy-related baldness. While little girls, college-age women, and grown women have been studied with their counterparts--little boys, college-age men, and grown men, there is scant literature about the population that I am proposing. Elaboration:  Girls and women tend to have a bigger impact on self-esteem from chemotherapy-related baldness.   I focus on adolescents/teenagers because, according to psychologist Erik Erikson, this is when a person's self-identity develops.  It is also when small things have a big impact on self-esteem. A...
