"What assumptions or conceptions (about yourself or the career area in which you are mentoring) have been confirmed or contradicted by your experience?"
Although I am a communicative person, I am usually slow to initiate conversation with adults. I know that I am a good communicator, I just had to find a way to open up and become comfortable. This assumption about myself has been confirmed through my mentorship, because I have to opportunity to initiate conversation with multiple people of all different ages and backgrounds. My conception of the things that nurses do has been somewhat contradicted, because I did not know how much paperwork nurses have to keep up with.
