My name is Madison, and I attend West Hall High School. I currently am a Junior participating in the Honors Mentorship Program. The medical world interests me, but I am not sure which particular field I would like to permanently engage in. To help figure out what my specific interests are, I am interning at the pharmacy inside the Longstreet Clinic. This gives me real life experience in the field of medicine.
Internship --
Through the Honors Mentorship Program, I am able to gain experience in a job that I could possibly obtain in the future. This program helps me decide whether the career that I am interning with is actually a realistic choice for me. I do what I can as an intern at Longstreet Clinic's pharmacy and am able to watch other pharmaceutical technicians do their jobs, as well. The pharmacist that I have the pleasure of shadowing, Dan Lorenzen, has the strongest influence on my internship and provides the most knowledge to me.
Future --
In the future, I plan on attending college at a large school somewhere in Georgia. Later, I hope to begin medical school at Emory and continue my residency there regarding whichever field I choose to pursue. I believe that the Honors Mentorship Program is the first step toward making a decision about my future career.
