Here, I was able to multitask from interpreting to a medical student or physician and a patient, to jumping to assist another patient and medical student with interpretation. I was also in charge of checking-in patients, organizing the tasks of the other volunteer interpreters, helping the pharmacy staff and and the patient-assistance volunteers with interpretations when needed, as well as to checking the patient assistance hotline, and calling patients when needed.

Nicole was born with two holes in her heart and suffered from congestive heart failure before she was a year old. Because her family had no health insurance, Nicole would not have been able to have the life-saving heart surgery that she needed were it not for the efforts of a non-profit group who stepped in to cover all the expenses and heart surgeon, Dr. Denton Cooley, who waived all of his fees. Later in life, Nicole watched as her father, who was on Medicare after being placed on disability due to a back injury, experienced several heart attacks and underwent multiple surgeries.…

    According to the official National Honor Society website, NHS serves to “not only recognize students for their accomplishments, but challenge them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.” The paragraph goes on to describe how the students in NHS ideally strive to achieve “excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.” As an individual hoping to become a member of the society, I interpret this to mean that when one enters NHS, they are not granted the freedom to then be lazy with their grades or lax with their leadership simply because they were deemed suitable for the society at one point. Rather, as a member of the National Honor Society, one becomes a leader on campus and a model of character, while continuing to offer constructivity and inspiration to their community and peers.…

    I believe I did not fully apply all of my learning objectives while at the Wellness Center. One of my objectives was to increase the efficiency of the center by applying the knowledge I was going to be learning. Despite that I learned many theories and concepts about how organizations work, I was not able to make ample applications due to the lack of opportunities. One primary anticipation I had of the Wellness Center was to be given new job duties and responsibilities beyond what is given to ordinary student assistants. I believed that my experience and knowledge of three years would have given me an advantage for consideration.…
