How did the component help you answer your EQ? Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped.
a. This component allowed me to gain first hand insights and back up the research answers that I had found previously, and on top, helped teach me that even though the answers I gave are black and white for realistic purposes, that it takes something more, like understanding and compassion, to do what medical missionaries do.
