Straight to the Point

This summer I had some difficulty finding a mentor I could rely on and spend my time effectively with. I spent most of my summer trying to find someone who was willing to commit, but when I finally did in the beginning of August I was more than grateful. The first time I met my mentor, Joanne Carr we didnt waste anytime.

Joanne was really sweet and answered any questions I had and really took the time to understand what my senior project is about and the task at hand. After getting to know her and meeting with her a couple times I was put to work. I wasn't able to work with any patients due to confidentiality laws but I was able to do lots of office work. I was asked to file and copy a lot of documents. Another big task that I was given that made me feel really responsible for the work that I did was to find resources for patients. My mentor, Joanne, gave me homework that is really important to get right the first time around. I had to find transportation, senior centers, daycare programs and food programs in a certain amount of cities so that this information could be available to future families and patients. The homework is shown down below.
