Service Learning

I have a good amount of past experience with service. All of my junior year and senior year of high school I would volunteer at our local hospital every week. I would work at the front desk and in the ICU. This experience was amazing and I learned so much. Doing this just reinforced my want to be a doctor. I have also done other events around the community. One of my most memorable service experience was when I spent the night at the Samaritan Inn. The Samaritan Inn is where the homeless people go to eat and sleep. At first I was just going because one of my friends had to go for court ordered community service and I was just going to go along with him but the experience ended up being really fun and unforgettable. It felt really good to help out these people that were less fortunate than me. I have had one course where we had to do service in order to pass. It was my 9th grade life skills class and we were required to do service around the school. If I could provide service anywhere it would definitely be at a hospital. I enjoy the learning experience I get whenever I'm there. It is a benefit for both me and the hospital.
