Counting collards with my Mentor Emily. 

 Picking which collards to pick. 

 I have had to use critical thinking several times during my internship. I am working on a project for my mentors Shannon and Nicole. One of the projects I am working on is organizing a survey into an article with a few graphs to show the data that was collected. It was my first time using Google Sheets to make a graph, it was interesting to figure out how to make the graph the way it needed to be. I did have to ask a few questions about which data to use and what type of graph I should use to show the data the best. I also learned how to graph in Google Sheets as well. Another instance was when I was helping my mentor Emily count collard greens I had to use critical thinking to decide which ones had medium feeding damage and which ones had light feeding damage. By the time we got through the first couple of baskets, I knew what to do and how to sort them. I still asked her ones that I was not really sure about. Some things I might do differently are trying to ask all my questions upfront and trusting that I can do it and that it is okay to ask questions.
