Volunteer work at American Red Cross
In the summer of 2015, I volunteered at the American Red Cross Donation center. With this amazing opportunity, I received a hands on approach on how to deal and work with patients that come for treatment. At this center, my primary jobs were to sign patients in, and to provide snacks and conversations with patients who just got done donating blood. This hands on experience was very different than a written source. With this experience, I learned many new perspectives and details about many of the patients' lives. I had the opportunity to converse with patients and learn their various reasons for becoming regular blood donors. This experience definitely opened my eyes up and taught me about many strong people and their various lifestyles. Overall with this experience, I learned many important social skills that will benefit in the future, and also I got to experience what life was like within the medical field.
