Over the course of this week I encountered several challenges and successes. The first of these occurred early in the week when I was asked to go to Peterson’s office supplies and buy more envelopes. Unfortunately Peterson’s didn’t have the type of envelopes that my mentor had sent me to purchase and so I bought the wrong ones unknowingly.
The second challenge the week gave me was finishing the first draft of my article. This was a challenge, as I needed to remove my own opinion from the writing, a skill I have not needed nor developed previously. Another reason this was challenging was because of someone else’s schedule. Missy Votel had recommended that I find some numbers, for example the number of new Boy Scouts enrolled in the last few years and compare them with those historical numbers to see if the enrolment is high or low for scouting. However I was unable to do this as the man I could contact for those numbers was on vacation and unable to answer my e-mail.
However, despite the challenges I faced, I was able to succeed and complete the first draft of my article by the end of Friday. Thought the coming week, I will refine it and prepare it for publication.
