HCSD Preschool
Hi! I’m Amadea, a senior at Hilliard Darby High School. This year I am a part of the Career Mentorship Program offered through the McVey Innovative Learning Center. This program is an opportunity for high school juniors and seniors to explore a career they might be interested in pursuing. This semester, I hope to mentor with a medical laboratory scientist, who conducts tests on blood or other types of samples. Through this program, I hope to gain a more accurate perspective of the different responsibilities and types of tasks that someone in this profession would perform, and this blog will help me document my experiences and share what I am learning about each week. Since I do not have a placement yet, I have been contacting different laboratories trying to find a mentor. I have called two different independent labs, Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp, that process blood samples for OhioHealth, as well as calling the American Red Cross. I have not heard back from either of the independent labs, but I learned that the Red Cross only has three labs across the country that process samples, and none of them are in Ohio. In addition, my program coordinator has been contacting various hospitals to try to find a placement for me, but we have not had any luck yet. Even though I do not have a mentor yet, I know that eventually I will find a placement, and no matter where I end up I will learn what I can about that career and make the most of my experience.
