Literal:

1. Google Doc

2. What is the contact name & number of where you volunteered?
  - Country Animal Clinic (909)-627-3561

3. What questions were raised because of the 10 hours of experience?  List them.
    - How can I incorporate this into an activity for my senior presentation?
    - What can I draw from this experience and present to the class?
    - What are the differences between a veterinarian and a veterinary technician?

Interpretive:

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

During this experience, I gained respect for what veterinarians and veterinary technicians do for these animals. This is what I gained  the most because I witnessed what they do and the skill and knowledge it takes to perform this job. They are on their feet for eight or more hours a day and constantly on the move. I experienced how tiring and draining, both mentally and physically, this job can be. They not only have to deal with the animals, but also their owners. They all have to work together and communicate well, not only with each other but also with the customers, in order to have a successful business.

5. What is your senior project topic going to be?  How did what you did help you choose a topic?  Please explain.

 I am going to stick to veterinary medicine as my senior topic. Mentoring at the veterinary clinic helped me further understand what veterinarians do and what goes on inside the clinic. This experience sparked my interest in veterinary medicine even more and allowed me to come to the realization that I want to pursue this as a career.
