I then moved into the first question, “What colleges did you attend?” Elaine Minamide attended community college at Golden West College in Huntington Beach, Ca. where she earned her Associates

The second interview for me, was a start to a new beginning. During the first interview, I was not adequately prepared. I was anxious, nervous, fidgety. My mannerisms did not display a comfortable and confident clinician. However, my performance and display in the second interview as a step in the right direction.

Even though Bashiri will not be mentoring me, he still works in a similar area as my actual mentor; which involves hospital administration and business management.
