My experience for the summer has been very impactful. I have learned a lot about what it is like to mentor someone and talk to someone younger about issues and help them to build their self-confidence and self-esteem. This has helped to shape how I view the world because I am happy to learn there are companies like Big Brothers Big Sisters that care about children that come from disadvantaged backgrounds and do whatever they can to help children to build a strong future.
I have begun to think about what I want to do for my capstone project. I have wanted to investigate the benefits of mentorship and sports involvement in children and how it can affect areas of their mental health such as math anxiety. What is going well is that I have a good foundation do to a research project in this area. However, I have not done that much research so far, so I will need to complete more research as I complete this project.
