What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
Applied
How has what you've done helped you to answer your EQ? Please explain.
During mentorship, I told my mentor about my essential question and asked about her thoughts on it. She immediately said that the most important aspect is the understanding of the business side of the application, meaning to understand all the external aspects of the developing application other than programming itself. This would include communication with team members, understand customers' needs, and knowing how the application will be used. I was able to experience how important this was by doing work assignment she had me do including creating a computer and installing software such as the Oracle database into the computer. I had to understand what exactly she wanted and needed to cater my actions towards that need. Doing this helped me to develop my 2nd answer to my EQ and ended up becoming my best answer.
Done.

What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
The most important things that I have learned from mentorship are various programming skills and information as well as how to actually applying that knowledge that could be used in a practical way. This includes not only teaching me a large amount of code that helped me later on in my independent component and having me research parts and create a computer from scratch, but also showing me the code and contents of example programs that she had worked on previously in the workplace. These elements helped me to understand what it really means to be a programmer and what I would need to generally prepare for when I enter this field in the near future.
