This week for my blog, I'm adding a link to a video of my "elevator speech" that summarizes my final project for Honors Mentorship. It was filmed when I gave the "speech" to a small class at my school, and I wanted to show the website I made, so it may be a little dark in the video with the lights off...

Week 3.31.14
This week I'll be answering a few questions about success at my mentorship for my blog...
1. What successes have you experienced? What did they mean to you?
At my mentorship, there's always been 3 (and now 4) other interns since I first came in September. This means I've always been taught how to complete tasks (such as getting heat packs, cleaning the hydroculator, and organizing equipment) in the office by other interns. Naturally, there's always another intern to do the hard stuff, or the things I haven't really had a chance to get the hang of. Something I consider a success was the first time I happened to be the only intern in the office with the PTs, and I was able to do everything they needed without the help of other interns. After more experience as the only intern in the office, I feel successful when I do anything I might not have been able to do alone in the past.
2. What setbacks have you experienced? What did you learn from those setbacks?
As I was saying in the first question, I was the newest intern out of the 4. All the other interns had been working there for about a month when I showed up. This means the PTs had taught them how to complete all the basic tasks of the office before I arrived. Therefore, I had to learn from the other interns. I think a setback was the fact that I took much longer to feel comfortable as the only intern in the office when the others couldn't come. However, in hindsight, I realized that there is never anything wrong with asking the PTs questions if I'm lost.
