     What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

-The single most important thing that I've gained from my experience is an academic understanding of the root causes behind democratic principles in action and direct peer to peer experience in seeing those academic systems in action.Given that a bulk of my hours came from attending classes and correspondence with my professors, I find this assessment of the overall impression of my mentorship to be a valid analysis of my time. in the course of my mentorship, I devoted a great deal of time to analyzing the structural systems underlying individual participation and the modifications to that end. I also engaged in a of of individual surveying to directly access data as seen in my independent component hour log, and I went above and beyond in my interviews by interviewing four different individuals to ensure that I got a diverse perspective on the issue.F information that I recieved. Furthermore, my essential question was derived from my mentorship as well.

     How has what you’ve done helped you to answer your EQ?  Please explain.

As the bulk of my hours have come from classes, supplemented by attending city council meetings, I think it's fair to say that the primary benefit in addressing my EQ is understanding the mechanisms behind proposed solutions to the problem of low voter turnout rates and the reasoning behind that. My initial mentor taught me about the positive influence that a mentor can have upon a burgeoning politically oriented mind and  the specific requirement of an academic environment of fostering these views. My correspondence with my mentor as part of my mentorship also reinforced the role of the academic environment in addressing declining student turnout rates, and was a significant factor in my decision to include that as my best answer. In addition, attending city council meetings also helped me informally interview  people as to their beliefs regarding this, and I saw firsthand the techniques they use to try to encourage attendance such as use of technology to broadcast their meeting and other ideas.
