Blog 13: 10 Hour Mentorship Check-In

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?

I am doing my mentorship at Golden Optometric Group.

2.   Who is your contact?  What makes this person an expert?

My contact is Andrew Wong. Dr. Wong is an Optometrist, who has been in his line of work for 10 years, has graduated from UC Berkeley Optometry School and has also taught before at the Optometry School at UC Berkeley.

3.   How many hours have you done during the school year? (Summer Mentorship Hours and Mentorship Hours should be reflected separately in your Senior Project Hours log located on the right hand side of your blog).

I have done 15 ½ mentorship hours so far during the school year.

4.   Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.

During my mentorship hours I have been shadowing my mentor while he works and I have shadowed some Opticians as well. My mentor and I have been working well together towards my mentorship. I plan to complete my remaining hours by shadowing him and other Opticians some more.
