  "Group 1 Blog 2" SPC2608: Prof. Sinkoff Created by: Ana M. Prado For this project, I say mental health was the main idea. The concept I suppose. Originally, our topic was called "Improve and Care for People in Need of Mental Health". That was the title we chose to do since we can all relate one way or other to it and make things easier for us to interact with. Later on, we changed our topic to "Raising Awareness to Mental Health". We did this because it seem like it was getting too similar with the other topics, too repetitive. We can go on and on talking about mental health but we had to choose a title more precise to dwell on it. This was to present it to the "Annual Student Interdisciplinary Symposium" after all. This wasn't a regular class project, it had to be perfect. Creating a template for both our project and the agenda was quite easy to accomplish since I already had an idea in mind for it. I wanted to create little nurses saying

         Blog Reflection #2         Alessandro Lorenzo 3/24/2022 So,  we concluded our second set of presentations, and what a ride it was. The main theme for the presentations this time around revolved around mental health and disabilities, and I'm so glad we ended up covering this very broad yet incredibly important topic. I'm glad that, through our own research and presentations, we were able to shed some light on mental health and the factors that surround it. Every group delivered an excellent presentation as per usual. Originally, our (Group 1's) presentation topic was "Improving and caring for people struggling with mental health." However, since we were the last ones to present, we felt as though what some of the other groups were presenting was far too similar to our topic and what we had ready to present. Therefore, in order to not sound redundant or repeat something one of the other groups already covered we decided to change our topic ad start from sc

‘’A first-time Symposium experience’’    When I think of all the accomplishments that I had experienced, all the wisdom that I had to acquire through every lesson; it just keeps me with the feeling of holding on board off to the next chapter of a new journey. That is how I felt when I heard about our most prominent event in class, the symposium. I have never attended an event of such magnitude, and as the professor was talking about it in class, I felt a rush of nervousness and excitement at the same time. The event was tremendous gratitude for a student to be part of such an event, whether a participant or just by being a viewer. Either way is a feeling of achievement that I'm sure most students feel because that is what school is for to develop your fullest potential and feel pleased with whatever you want to pursue after with a handful of knowledge. We had like a month and a week to prepare for the most significant event in our class, but the time seemed like a marathon for most

      Presentation #2 Reflection         For our second presentation our topic was a little more serious than the first one. Mental health has been growing more and more in the last few years from an issue that was taboo to now being encouraged to talk about. It is a topic very important to me, so I wanted too really do it justice and focus on teaching any information to my fellow classmates. It was not just to my classmates but the whole school since we had to present again at the symposium. That definitely added some extra pressure to the presentation. Group 1 Before the symposium we had to present to our class. I thought that went very well. Being the last group to present we had to relay new information that wasn’t repeated while also making sure it was important enough to be included. We changed our topic feeling that it was too similar to another group and that gave us even less time to prepare. Everyone in the group presented their part very well. A part that I really en
