1. What impact did this experience have on my personal growth?
I feel like my mentorship really let me see the real work field in the "real world." It may not have had a huge impact on my personal growth but it did help me learn a few important real world skills.
2. What was my greatest accomplishment?
My biggest accomplishment during my mentorship was that I feel like I have grown on my people skills, such as socializing and carrying on conversations with people that I don't know. Being sociable is a good trait to have in the work field.
3. What did you find most challenging about the mentorship?
The most challenging thing I found about my mentorship was that I should work on time management, such as getting there exactly on time in the mornings when I "should",and possibly being more interactive while at my mentorship. Asking more questions and going into patient rooms would be ways to be more interactive.
4. What did you discover about yourself?
I discovered that once I feel pretty comfortable around people, that I automatically become my self. This can be a good and bad thing in the working field (sometimes I tend to be weird and sometimes bold).
5. What influence will this experience have on your future academic and career choices?
My mentorship could help lead me in the right path to get to my goals for Marine Biology. Also, I questioned my my mentor and he gave me tips in order to "follow my dreams" and lead me in the right path as far as college education goes.
6. What did you learn from people you admire in the organization?
I learned that my mentor can be harsh about the world and the people in it, and I also saw that he was a human encyclopedia and knew almost every thing we talked about.
I also learned how everyone interacted with each other whether they were in good moods and bad moods.
