I have some pretty rough sketches of the design of my prototype so far and if anything, receiving any help from anyone seems a bit out of reach. The first step to my plan to be successful was indeed to seek a mentor who knew more than me, had more life experience, and most of all: connections. Life in this world is very strange. The social nature of humans and people of this world are largely based on connections that people establish in their life time. Lucky for me, I had a science Olympiad coach who had me as a student for his first year in the organization. This is lucky since we all know that the first of everything holds a special place in our hearts. Since I was his first student, convincing him to meet up with me was easy. And thus I was able to consult a mentor. At the meeting, I was to tackle the hard part: pitching my idea for approval. Now yes, I found a mentor that knows more than me, however receiving the support of a large company takes care of a lot of problems that I would usually have if i didn't have it. After giving him my packaged deal of what I had plans for, he decided so generously to help me. However, what I didn't expect from this meeting was to receive a possible offer of an internship which was going to be my next step from all of this journey. What I received was a great step in my project. Because of this, I can really start my research to make the prototype which is primarily what I am going to be doing now. I also received some feed back from my mentor saying that there will be challenges to overcome as did my classmates at school, however they all gave their whole hearted positive support. Currently, my status in this project is still researching as the next step. I must find a way to: 1.) assemble the skeleton 2.) find a way to create an input switch for my endoskeleton 3.) learn how to design the 3d model using auto desk inventor (or the programs Viasat has)
