For my EE, Currently I am working on a question surrounding the Battle of Stalingrad and the events surrounding it and their importance in shaping WW2. However reaching this question and choosing it from an infinite range of topics has been interesting. I have always had interest in the Battle for numerous reasons, therefore resulting in me choosing it as my topic. Ranging from the sheer numbers involved in this war to the debatable decisions that were made.

I had my first meeting with my supervisor, Mr Sharry, after conducting initial research and the EE planning process. I met with him and showed him my ideas so far and he guided me well, helping me narrow down my question and give me good ideas to discuss. He asked probing questions on my question to help me identify areas which I had little knowledge on at first, so I can work on these sections to learn more to eventually help my essay. After this insightful conversation, we together identified goals and steps to work on before our next meeting. I set targets to conduct more research and attempt to narrow down on the question.
