I am currently an Intern at Unique Health Care for Women, my mentor is Dr. Latisa Carson. She has taking me were many unlicensed people do not get to travel. I have been in Operating rooms and patient consultations. This was the start of my journey when I arrived I was greeted with a white student jacket. Student jackets are a lot shorter then the doctors.

Something I was hoping I would get to do would have to be watching surgeries. When Dr. Carson told me that I would actually get to witness some I was ecstatic. I knew I could watch surgeries on TV Without being squeamish, but I needed to know if I could stand it in real life. I have watched about five surgeries so far and i'm extremely proud of myself I wasn’t sick or light headed. Paradise valley hospital is the most reticent hospital I have watched a surgery. This is what we usually look like when we are ready to enter the OR. This picture also inspires me to become a doctor. I am absolutely positive that this is what I want to make my profession.

This is some of the things you are required to wear in the operation room. This is protocol because you must insure everything in the room is sterile, If not you can expose clients to bacteria. The face mask is the most important because you can't expose anyone to your germs. If you sneeze in it the face mask will catch the germs. The foot covers and hair cover makes it so you can't bring anything from outside in the OR.

There are certain scrubs you have to wear in the OR. I also had to wear shoe covers and hair covers to insure no germs were in the room. If you have ever heard the surgical term don’t touch the “Blue”. It means that everything in blue is sterile and if touched will be contaminated.

I am very thankful that I am able to shadow a doctor. I would have never thought to do an internship it weren't for High Tech. I am absolutely sure this is the field that i want to be in. I didn't think I was going to be able to see half the things I already have. This is defiantly for me, and I'm glad I got the chance to experience this.

A challenge that I have faced with my peoject is not having one. I am not able to do anything at the office because there is a lot of legal things that are at risk. I am mentoring with a Doctor and I am only allowed to observe so its been difficult for me to propose a project.

I see myself working as an OBGYN. Working with my mentor has actually confirmed that this is what I want to do. I am so excited to go to college and learn about the things I'm learning now. I feel that I'm going to be a successful Doctor. I just love the power they have and the way people look up to them makes me so motivated.

me poem

Me

I am from brown skin

and white men

That think they are supirior then...I

Yes ma'am they called out

I am not from nigger that degrading word u say so comfortably

The ignorance you expect because

My skin is brown, tan , Carmel

But yet you call me black

I am intelligent and will succeed

No matter the past of the people that came before me

Look...Look at my eyes

For there is much more within

I am not of this world

This world of sin and hatred

murder and grief

liars and thief's
