Junior Student-Faculty of Biomedical Engineering
Mentorship was crucial to my development, particularly during a lockdown when you only interact with those you already know. You get the opportunity to interact with someone you would never talk to outside of school, which is crucial because it pushes you outside of your comfort zone.
My mentor truly helped me develop a critical mindset. When asked about my weaknesses in an interview, I had an extremely difficult time coming up with an answer. My mentor helped me realize that I wasn't very good at seeking help. She taught me that it's okay to ask for help, and I believe it has significantly changed me. I tend to believe that I can take care of things on my own, and independence is a large part of who I am. I told my mentor everything I possibly wanted to do in my entire life!
