4.What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
The most important piece of knowledge that I gained from mentoring was that Psych Techs are extremely vital to the healthcare society. They are in the front line of patient care serving as the doctors eyes and ears when he is not around, therefore, making them a key piece in today's modern society of healthcare. Often known as the nurse that interacts the most with its patients, I feel like I could really make a mark in peoples lives through having a medical career.

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

My senior topic is going to be on Psychiatric Technicians. What I did that really inspired me towards wanting to do it on Psychiatric Technicians was based off of the fact that they help people every single day but not just normal people like you and I, they help people that are in dire need of assistance such as the mentally ill or unstable. Just knowing that I was potentially able to make someones day by simply performing my duty and helping them gives me an over sense of joy.
