Blog 6 - Advisory Prep

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

• The topic I chose is something that I am passionate about. I feel like this has worked well for me as far as research goes and hopefully my presentation later on in the year.The mentor-ship itself has made it a great experience. It gives us a chance to participate in something that we don't normally do or a head start into the career path of our choice. Even though I don't really see a career path for me in rehabilitation, I'm glad I'm able to be involved in something that I'm interested in.

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?

• I find it hard to manage my mentor-ship. Reaching my mentor-ship and possibly commuting to further organizations is what I find most difficult because of the distance. I should be able to by keeping in mind that it won't be an every week thing. I feel like my topic might be too specific in the sense that finding professional wildlife rehabilitators is difficult. If I were to broaden my topic to maybe, rehabilitation in general, it may open a lot more different aspects to it. I don't think the senior team can help with distance. I will have to work something out myself. On the other hand, I will ask about my topic situation and slightly changing it to something that fits best.
