I felt successful when I was able to perform an experiment of my own, I was only able to do this after learning the techniques and shadowing the knowledgeable faculty in the lab therefore, learning more information regarding experimental planning. 

Challenges

The most challenging situation I've encountered so far involves managing setbacks or deviations from the intended course. There have been instances where errors occurred during experiments, leading to delays in adhering to the plan or necessitating changes to the original methodology.
