I truly enjoyed this video. It was funny, cute and straight forward. The only advice that has ever been given to me is to one: put your hands by your side and two: picture the audience in their underwear. Of course this was horrible advice and naturally did not work. So watching this video helped so much.
The advice that I will surely use is to list my points i am trying to get across and how i will get them across. The other advice I will use is to not  eat a heavy lunch or dairy products. I did not know cheese could impact me so much! On account of this video I will also try to let my body be more in a natural position rather than a lazy or stiff body. I was always told to be, well pretty much a robot when talking in front of a crowd.
I have not been scared to talk in front of a crowd because well i like to talk about things I know. But thanks to this very entertaining video i now see how to better improve my public speaking abilities.

If I would go into the field of neuroscience I would have to take a minimum of 12 years of school. Starting from a regular college then going into a medical school and finishing the cake off with a residency and an internship. I'm more than willing to put in this time and dedication. I also understand that if you go to college for neuroscience as your intended major it will get a lot of work out of the way. I do expect that I will have to go back to school even after 12 years because medicine and technology is always changing.
I enjoy and feel fulfilled when I can help a patient with what they need. Like which doctor to go to. I excel at putting new patients into the system. And I although it was difficult I finally mastered how to find everything and how to make a chart folder for new patients.

As we approach our final project for our honers internship program I start to focus on what I want to present. I have decided and started to build a mini movie. I would also like to make a brochure as I present my project. In addition I want to talk to my counselor about setting up a field trip so I can experience a neurology clinic in the morning.

For the final big deal project my drive for my research is my longing to expand my knowledge of neuroscience and genetics. This is because I see the people who walk in at my mentorship and now more than ever I really want to impact those life's in a positive manner.
My essential question will be sculptured and molded from my previous essential question.
In order to better show cast my project I will use photos because a picture is worth a thousand words. I will also talk to my counselor to see if I can come into mentorship in the morning.
For my inquiry I will interview different people, perhaps the doctors that actually come in sometimes in the morning if I get a chance.

Over the course of a month my mentorship knowledge has grown. From not really knowing everyone on the floor to greeting everyone with a smile. My mentorship has expanded my knowledge about neurology because I have meet a doctor from Emory. He is very passionate about his work and have read the notes he writes about patients and how in detail he is to help them.

My Advance Placement Biology has helped me expand my knowledge of how the brain works. And how genes impact people directly from birth or impact the kids. I understood how genes combine and mix together to get the result of down syndrome.

My profile: I am Maryana, I love taking science and math classes. I also enjoy playing in the concert and marching band, and playing soccer. Its as though you will either see me performing on the field or kicking a ball on the field. 

I am participating in the Honors Mentorship Program, which I have enjoyed thus far. I came into the field of neurology because I found it quite interesting how the brain functions and how people get diseases to the brain such as Alzheimer's disease.

My mentorship: My current mentorship is at Children's with Special Needs clinic with Mrs Angie Williams. I am very fortunate to be a part of this system because I feel very involved and Mrs. Williams has opened my mind to different possible careers such as genetics. During my mentorship I get to examine different files and discuss their situation with others. Aside from paper work I did get a chance to meet the neurologist doctor Mr Morris. Who in turn gave me some good advice for my future steps towards my career.

My future: I, hopefully, will get to continue this wonderful program my last year in high school. After that I will go to Georgia state university neurology program with which I will have a better understanding of the situation and will be one step ahead thanks to the mentorship program.

I am fairly recent to my internship so my perception still remains about the same but I do hope as time goes on that my knowledge will expand even further and that I'll have a whole new outlook when I am finished.

What is surprising to me about the mentorship is how fat the patients come from. Some come all the way down from some side of the state to a well sized clinic to see a neurologist or geneticist for a couple of hours in search of hope. Another thing that surprised me is the amount of data one patient can have. Some have only on folder while the other has 8 folders full of doctor notes.

I have however learned that organizing the notes and referrals from oldest to newest will help the doctor big time. And even though this is a basic or boring routine , this saves so much time for the doctor when the patient comes for their appointment.
