Recommended: Refletion on mentorship

A regular activity in which I partake in twice a week is working at Rouge Valley Centenary Hospital 's neonatal intensive care unit as a co-op student. While some of my work consists of organizing files, cleaning charts and restocking supplies, I often help run various clinics in pediatrics as well as labour and delivery. Some include non stress tests, breastfeeding clinics, Respiratory syncytial virus clinics and neonatal follow up clinics. Through this experience I have developed many skills such as effective communication, cultural sensitivity, resourcefulness and problem solving. Another activity I take part in weekly is peer mentoring, a program my school offers which allows younger students to seek assistance from senior students in academic, extracurricular and social needs. …show more content…

Before I even stepped into my high school as an official freshman I knew I was going to be a part of my school one way or the other.
