5/5 assignment
1. What impact did this experience have on my personal growth?
This experience taught me many great skills, the most important being accountability and time management skills. I had to be on a schedule and make sure I did what my mentors expected of me, as well as try to strive beyond my expectations.

2. What was my greatest accomplishment?
My greatest accomplishment was working on the Trillium Trek. Elachee had to plan months in advance, and I was able to help with it all as well as plan the Kids Fun Run. It was a small responsibility, but a responsibility nonetheless and I had to put in extra time and effort to make it successful.

3. What did you find most challenging about the mentorship?
I believe that a task is not fulfilled unless go past what they expected me to do. Bare minimum does not get the task done. Keeping this philosophy was probably the hardest part of my mentorship experience. Not just doing what my mentors asked, but doing it to the best of my ability.

4. What did you discover about yourself?
I discovered that I have mentally matured beyond the average high schooler, and that I have a "leg up" in the work force when competing for jobs with people my age.

5. What influence will this experience have on your future academic and career choices?
My mentorships [at the Hall County Government and Elachee Nature Center] have influenced my future in that now I want to major in Communications and minor in environmental science when I go to university at UCLA.

6. What did you learn from people you admire in the organization?
I learned that the office world is not black and white and bland. I was surprised the most when I saw how friendly and connected everyone was. When I work in my career, I want friendliness to be a key component of the working life.
