4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

The most important thing I learned and gained from this experience is being able to multi-task with limited time on the clock. Especially in a small business, there is a lot of work for one person. Also not procrastinating on anything is a big plus. This is all because as an adult, you learn to handle a lot of things and become responsible by putting priorities first.  

5. What is your senior project topic going to be?  How did mentorship help you make your decision?  Please explain.

My senior topic is going to be on Forensic sciences. I was interested in forensic sciences as well as advertising so I got a taste of advertising. It was very interesting and I learned a lot but I don't think it would be good for a senior topic. This mentorship helped me which my decision by eliminating a choice for me.
