In high school I was the Associated Student Body Secretary. A lot of the work that I was given was based on opinion, we would be given information about an event that we were going to throw or a financial situation the school was going through and be asked to give our opinion on what we thought the school or the council should do. A lot of the time I was the go-to person because rather than giving a recommendation that just "sounded nice" I would analyze every outcome that could arise from many given situations and then give my opinion.

The last time I had to analyze information was when I jobshadowed a physician. One of his patients is a close family friend of mine. The patient was interested in weightloss surgery. Based on what I knew of the person and his history, the doctor asked me to make a decision whether or not the patient should receive gastric bypass surgery or lap band. I chose lap band because of the weight fluctuations I had seen with the patient. To my amusement, the doctor agreed with me.
