Week 5

This past week, I went back to the clinic after miss the week before because I was at home for fall break. It was good to be back because I am finally somewhat a part of the "team" in medical records. The people there are getting to know me and I'm getting to know them a lot better. This week Ms. Vera said that I looked like a California beach girl, and when I told her I was from an South Padre she told everyone there that she was right. It was pretty funny. I really like going there because the ladies that work there are really sweet and fun to talk to. While I was at home over Fall Break, I was talking to my mom about my volunteer work and told her that I was going to be done with my 10 hours soon, but I think I am still going to go every week. We just talked about the various things that I had done and been around. She said something to me that I thought was interesting. It's kind of the same thing that I talked about in a previous blog, about how you don't know where others are coming from or what they are going through in their lives at that time. My mom said even though I'm only there for 2 hours at a time, I may never know that the little bit of work I did may help someone else's day go more smoothly. I'm just glad that I can help the little bit that I can and I hope that it truly does help those working at the clinic. Sometimes I think that my little bit of work is insignificant in the big picture of things, but if it helps even one person, I think its worth it.
