Another WISE blog

This Monday in our weekly class meetings, each of us received a past WISE student's completed blog that relates to our project. I was handed Miriam Bernstein's blog about her project of athletic training. At first I was unsure about how much this was going to help me because even though the rehabilitation of my ankle is a huge part of my own project, I was skeptical about how much it actually paralleled with Miriam's. I was glad to see that my first assumption was wrong and that this blog is helpful to me.

The content of Miriam's blog, I find very interesting. She has weekly research days where she commits herself on blogging once a week about a new article she read or further research she did on one of her research questions. This is something that I think I could incorporate into my own project. I have started to look into the research about my ankle and my injury but not much. This "research day" I think will give me a good excuse and motivation to continue this research. Another thing that I really like about Miriam's blog was how relateable  it was. I didn't feel like I was reading a completely formal and over thought journal entry. She has a lot of details and fulfills her requirements while still giving it a casual feeling and making it fun to read. I want to make sure that my blog continues to be like hers in this respect. Miriam also has articles linked her in blog about ankle strains, sprains  twists, and the different between the three of hem. I think that this article that she used could be helpful to me and one that I look at on one of my research days!

ALSO! I heard back from Mia Wise about her experiences about being a dancer and being a choreographer. She gave some amazing answers and definitely is going to be a person to I continue talking to as this project progresses. She has overcome some pretty amazing things and is a big inspiration for me!
