Blog 10: Senior Project, The Holiday

1. Over break my mentor was not around, and I began to talk about looking for another place to mentor, so
    I was contacting Pomona Valley and Citrus Valley.

2. I learned that even though my mentor is an abundant source of research, it is of no use to me if I am
    unable to see him due to how far away he is and his short hours. But I will keep in contact with Dr.        
    Campbell for research.

3. I would be forced to talk to Dr. Campbell or one of his co-workers who excels in patient consultations.
    But I would prefer to first go to another hospital and see how my potential "mentor" can help.

December Update

Happy New Year! I just turned 18 so yay I get to sign up for the draft!!! Anywho I enjoyed a nice relaxing winter while my mentor left for vacation. Speaking of my mentorship, he and I finally realized that our schedules are too different and the hospital is too far for my parents to take me, so I am looking at Pomona Valley Hospital for potential mentorship. Wish me luck!
