Matthew W. Blair

            This last week was great. As you know Merrill Lynch’s compliance officer prohibited my last mentorship, however upon meeting with Mr. Taylor Allen at Goldman Sachs I am back in the game.  I am extremely excited to work with and learn from Mr. Allen. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field that I hope he will share with me. His personality type reminded me a lot of myself and I look forward to his mentorship.

            So now I am in the process of catching up and getting ahead. I have to make my mentor bio tonight, which should be quick, and just some other work and I should be caught up.  Something new that happened this week was that instead of printing off my research assessment article I took it out of a magazine. I recently subscribed to The New Yorker and found a good article so I cut it out and annotated it. It’s a nice touch from the black and white in my portfolio.

            I should be meeting with Mr. Allen this Friday and hope that it will be the beginning of something great.
