1. Describe your experience in how you found your mentorship?
I started my community service hours the summer after my freshman year. I volunteered at a pediatric clinic called Sunshine Pediatrics. I found out about this clinic because my younger sister is a patient there. Volunteering at Sunshine Pediatrics has taught me a lot of experience in the field I want to work in. I got close to the doctors there and had a stronger connection with Dr. Chen. I decided I wanted to choose her as my mentor.
2.What has been your most important article you have read so far and why?
Article 2 has been the most important article I have read due to my topic and EQ. The article is about how delaying vaccines only puts children at more risk. It talks about why parents are delaying vaccines for children. This article states how wrong parents are informed about vaccines causing autism. It states how autism is shown with children who haven't even received the MMR vaccine. The MMR vaccine prevents measles. Measles is spread through respiration. The article goes on about the measles outbreak and how it'll keep getting worst if parents are not letting their children receive the recommended vaccines at their age.
