Dear Dr. Hahn,
Thank you for all the time you and your team dedicated to my Job Shadow Day at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The knowledge I gained inspire me to think more deeply about the field of science. I really appreciated you answering my questions; clarifying my doubts and showing me the various functions of the Hahn Lab. Listening to different perspectives helped me realize the wide variety of careers I can choose. Thank you Dr. Hahn and your wonderful team for a really great time.

Dr. David Rancourt was very kind and extremely informative. I enjoyed the opportunity to be with him as he consulted with his patients. I especially appreciated being able to look at the heart of one of his patients on a computer screen from different angles. When I listened to Dr. Rancourt I noticed he was very poised, well-spoken, and informative to all his patients, which was something I admired greatly. After meeting with each of his patients, I listened to him give dictation on their report. Later I asked him about my education, and colleges with a good pre-med program. I asked him what he likes most about being a doctor - he appreciates the respect and prestige that he gains from being a doctor. I am very happy that I was able to shadow Dr. Rancourt. I gained a greater insight into what it is like to be a cardiologist. I appreciate his willingness to take time out of his day, for me to shadow him. Thank you to MVYLI for setting up this opportunity with Dr. Rancourt.

My Job Shadow Day started at the Oak Bluffs Police Station. Lieutenant Williams and Sergeant Cassidy were super kind and very good professionals. They gave me a tour of the entire station - every room, even the basement. I got to meet almost everyone who work there, all were very nice people.
Next we went to the 911 Center at the Airport. I was impressed that there was so much technology. It was amazing! Then we went to the County Jail in Edgartown. I got to see the jail cells, and learn about the whole process of the people who are there.
That was one of the most impressive experiences I had, where I got to see with my own eyes things I never did before, things that I want eventually do. The experience really opened my eyes and got me thinking about what I want for my future, the type of career I want to build for my life. This experience also made me realize how important this work is, and how much responsibility it requires. By the end of the day I felt very fulfilled for having this opportunity, the chance that many people don't get before they go to college. The job of protecting people and even saving people is very special. It takes a very good person to help with all the injustice and madness in this world. It must be amazing!

Having the opportunity to sit down and speak with Rose Styron was extremely inspiring. Rose has so many amazing stories about her travels, and working with Amnesty International, I was so fortunate to be able to hear about them straight from the source. The amount of bravery and strength she possesses is awe-inspiring. I can only hope to lead a life as eventful and meaningful as hers. I am so grateful for the opportunity to get to know a true hero.
It was great to meet with
Nancy Aronie to explore my dream of being a writer and gaining an understanding of the life of a real writer. The experience was extremely beneficial to me. Within 10 minutes I felt like I had known Nancy forever. It felt great to get my questions answered.
After spending this time together, I am now much more hopeful about pursuing my dream of becoming a writer. Nancy is a very validating person. She read my very amateur pieces and gave me thoughtful positive insight and praise. We are so lucky to live in a community where there are so many professionals willing to help foster the dreams of the youth.
