The most frustrating moment for me in my research was my first summer at Kansas State, when I first arrived and I was starting to do research,
I was in an accident and I felt so...I was sick, I wanted to go home. I was homesick. I was frustrated with my research, and I felt like I couldn’t do it anymore.
I wanted to go home and I wanted to quit. So again, the support system and this mentoring group was there for me and once I talked to them and I told them all of my frustrations,
I felt like I let it all out with them and they were there for me, they helped me get through it. I talked to my mentor about it, and my research was going great and I didn’t even realize it.
I thought I was doing everything wrong and nothing was coming up. In reality, it was my attitude toward everything else that was making me think
that everything was wrong. When in reality, my research was great and I was doing a good job.
All I needed to do was focus on what was going on in the moment. Frustrating moments come all the time.
