1. What has worked well for you concerning senior project this year?  What has made it a positive experience for you?

What has worked exceptionally well for me is that I got to learn a lot more about a topic that I am genuinely interested, and we're only two months into the school year! Reading checks, at first, seem incredibly dull and pointless but they actually have helped me learn quite a bit from what my topic is. Reading material that were published by magnificent people with different achievements and occupations at some of the world's most recognized facilities gave me a more in-depth perspective on medical knowledge. However, working in the field itself has been a much more interesting and without a doubt, awarding privilege. From gaining these experiences, I've learned so many things that can not be learned by simply reading some articles.What has made it a positive experience with the senior project is going out of my comfort zone and getting experiences out in the world. It's also the most interesting thing to hear other classmates' stories of them in their own mentorship and how exciting it is to be a part of something we're passionate about.

2. What are you finding difficult concerning senior project?  How can you adapt to make that portion work better for you?  How might the senior team help?

The most difficult part concerning senior project is how far I have to travel to do my senior project. It is extremely hard to acquire mentorships in the field I am in as many medical students are also in competition for the internship spots that involve patient care in many clinics and hospitals. However, I am truly blessed to even have found a spot in a city that is an hour drive and another hour going back. As time goes by, I will have to get to eventually get used to driving such a distance.
