Please share any other academic areas where you'd like to receive help from a mentor.
I would have liked to focus more on exploring the things I liked instead of zoning in on one career path so feverently. Since my careers of interest varied greatly, I could not throroughly explore each so I was forced to choose one to concentrate on. I would have liked to work more with my mentor on what it takes to go deeper into my other interests.
