Blog 5: Project Reflection and Working EQ

The Pentagon:
1.) Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?

• A positive thing that has happened due to what I have completed so far is that I feel more confident in wanting to become a veterinarian in the future.

2.) EQ Content: Pick a piece of research or your interview. How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?

• "Origins and Early Development of the Veterinary Profession" has really helped me to understand when and how veterinarians began to emerge. I found it really interesting to read about the first veterinarians and see how they would develop over time.

3.) What has worked for you so far in the senior project?

• So far I feel like research is coming along nicely. When I think I wouldn't be able to find any more research I would find the perfect website.

4.) What hasn't worked so far?

• What hasn't worked for me so far is to be able to find a clinic where I can do my mentorship.

5.) Finding Value:

• What is a potential question you would like to study this year? (working EQ)

           What is the best patient care a veterinarian can provide?

• What do you plan to do for mentorship?

           I still haven't been able to find a mentor because most of the clinics do not let people go under 18. So far I have searched all of the clinics in Upland my next step is to look into neighboring cities and to try to talk to the vets at my local animal shelter.
