Senior Project Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
I'm most proud of how I was able to speak for the timed requirement on my content and research. I felt that I was able to educate my audience very well on my subject because during my activity, many referred to my presentation as what helped them complete the activity. 

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?
        P
b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?
        P

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
     What worked for me was how easily I was able to obtain valuable information that would help me answer my essential question. Also how I was able to get a lot of research to back up my answers that came out of the foundation of mentoring at the pharmacy. 

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?
 I would have gone back to tell myself how simple obtaining research could have been. It was as simple as asking the right people for credible sources that would've in turn led me to finding research for my answers more efficiently. 

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.
This project overall has shown me what I want to pursue after high school. I want to pursue a medical profession where i'm to benefit the community as I did during my mentor ship. I helped many patients receive proper consultation on their prescriptions, that would ensure their safety.

Mentorship

Literal

- Grace Lin, Grand view Pharmacy
 Interpretive
- The most important thing I had gained from my experience at the pharmacy was how I was able to see the actual impact that I was having there. My mentor didn't speak Spanish and I had the opportunity of assisting her with communicating information the the patients. I always would heard the gratitude that the patients had for me helping them since it was always such a hassle for them to understand their medication. It felt good making a difference in the days of others. 
   Applied
-Through my mentor ship at the pharmacy, I was able to determine the answer to my essential question. How? Well I was able to see firsthand the effectiveness of my answer in play. Seeing all the patients receiving consultation and leaving understanding their prescriptions always assured me that this was the right answer because it was having the greatest effect in the bringing back customers and making sure that patients were comfortable with the  medication that was being prescribed to them.
