 Mentorship is a program where you find a mentor off-campus to assist you in a research project, and I work with Dr. Hyon Kim, who is at Duke University. She's the chair of the Department of East Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, and so I do conduct linguistics research with her. It's just been a really, really great experience because you learn so much in the NC System classroom, but to be able to go out and apply it and really see all your hard work payoff in a professional research environment is something that very few high schoolers get to do, so it's a really great experience. I go do research on cardiac arrest, and I get to go shadow her at her clinics and talk to her patients about their experiences. She showed me how to do EKGs and echoes. I've gotten to see open heart surgery. It's truly remarkable how if you have a passion and something that you really want to learn about, the school gives you the means and provides the opportunities to pursue and grow those. Mentorship is Tuesdays and Thursdays. We leave about one o'clock. We take a bus, we get dropped off at Duke, and then we are picked up around four-ish. So it's about three hours of work twice a week. You definitely do a lot of work outside of that. Research is a constant process, so I do a lot of reading and I work with my mentor. I talk with her and meet with her outside of those periods, but during those six hours a week, three on Tuesday, three on Thursday, I'm in the lab and I'm working and I'm writing papers and I'm interviewing and doing questionnaires and things like that. I think my mentorship opportunity is probably one of the biggest things that I'm grateful to NDSM for because I've gotten the chance now to be on a college campus twice a week and gotten the chance to know a lot of the research language and be able to read research papers that before I would have thought would be way too complicated for me, and I think that is honestly really great to have had that.
