"Please write a reflection on your mentorship, specifically things that have happened in the last month. Make sure you are writing a reflection that is through and gives the reader a glimpse into what you are doing for your mentor. This should be at least a well developed paragraph.
Additionally, please pick ONE class you have had at any point in high school and be specific on how that class has helped you while you have been at your mentorship. This can be an academic class or an elective class. Only choose one class however and write another well developed paragraph, with details, on how that class has helped prepare you for what you are doing now."
When I go to my mentorship, I often help my mentor, Julio, by preparing IV bags for him and mixing basic medicines when he asks me to do so. We have the opportunity to help many people, and we do the best that we can--especially Julio, of course. I fetch blankets, pillows, and water on occasion for the patients, as well, which is what I feel I can do to help them the most with my minimal credentials. Helping the little, elderly women is my favorite activity when I shadow Julio.
In all honesty, taking Honors Mentorship last year has helped me the most with my mentorship this year. This is because last year, I was a mentee at The Longstreet Clinic Pharmacy. By doing this, I learned what a portion of medicines do or what they are prescribed for. I also learned the "language" of prescriptions, meaning the basic abbreviations used by doctors when prescribing them. Because of this, I can read some prescriptions in the E.R. with ease and I know what a small number of the medicines are prescribed for.
