3. What questions were raised because of the 10 hours of experience?
What type of sanitation issues can occur if the process of waste management is not followed precisely?
Is it better a septic tank in your home or have it connected to the sewer?
Is the government involved with environmental remediation?

4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
The most important thing I learned from this experience is the knowledge of waste remediation. This process, a quite dirty one if I can add, involves numerous skills to perform. From speaking with distraught customers that have homes with fecal matter coming out of every drain to working approximately 18 hours a day on pumping septic tanks. I then gained the knowledge of where the contents of people septic tanks go, which was in approved landfills or even sometimes its used to grow your food. 

5. How did what you did help you choose a topic?  Please explain.
This mentorship allowed me to become more involved with recycling and carry for our planet. Our use of inorganic fertilizers  result in negative environmental impacts which can easily be avoided by efficiently managing our feces and urine, to create a organic compost. I wish to become a animal conservationist, but I must first create a environment that can be sustainable and efficient for these animals, which was why this mentorship helped me choose a topic.
