            3. I want to know if what I’m doing when I volunteer with my mentor works for this project?

Interpretive:
4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
The most important thing I gained from this experience was going inside the rooms with the doctor and seeing her patients. I saw how she would make sure she answered every question the patient’s parent had. Dr. Chen walked into the rooms remembering every patient. She had a nice connection towards every kid. I learned from this that in order to become a Pediatrician you have to be kind with children and make them feel as if you’re their friend.

5. What is your senior project topic going to be? How did what you did help you choose a topic? Please explain.

My senior project topic is going to be on Pediatrics. I’ve always wanted to become a Pediatrician. I did my summer mentorship in the same clinic I did my community service hours. I enjoy volunteering at Sunshine Pediatrics. I gain so much experience from the medical assistants and the doctors. Volunteering there makes me more excited on becoming a Pediatrician.
