Reflection

•My experience with my blog was definitely love/ hate. •Technology is a blessing and a curse

Semester Highlights

Colleen Sand’s Presentation“I realized that there were more ways to help

out and do service besides direct service. It is also possible to do service through research, advocacy and indirectly by having a video that spreads awareness or knowledge.”

Semester Highlights Minoria and Majoria“This stimulation taught me that helping

others isn’t as easy as it looks. It seems so easy to just show up somewhere full of ideas and resources ready to make a change but if your target group doesn’t want your help it is going to be very difficult in the beginning.

I also learned that it’s really important to know the history and background of those who you are going to help specifically on the issue you are trying to help.

Semester HighlightsChildren’s Clinic at TMCChildren’s Clinics is a non-profit organization

providing family-centered, comprehensive outpatient medical and therapy services in a comfortable and engaging atmosphere.

They provide Outpatient care in Occupational and Physical Therapies, Audiology and Speech Services, Primary care and Specialty care like Neurology and Orthopedics.

Very focused on Patients.

Service Hours Blog 20+“I liked the Children’s Clinic because it was

not only a place that made the medical treatment for children more convenient but it is also a place that does a lot of service for its patients. The clinic has a toy assistance program every December where families in need receive toys from the clinic that they can give their children from Santa Clause.”

Opened my eyes to complexity of disorders

GoalsAs a result of what I’ve learned…I plan to continue to volunteer at the

Children’s ClinicI also want to use what I learned from the

staff and Doctor’s in my career and make sure that I try to make the patient the main focus.

I hope to get more involved in providing service to children who have complex disorders and a family in need.
