Memorial Hospital Miramar Reflection

Decent Essays
Since my freshman year in high school, I have been volunteering at my local hospital, Memorial Hospital Miramar. At the hospital I volunteer mainly at the Gift Shop, assisting customers and patients with daily amenities and gifts. I have a high level of responsibility at the store because I am trusted by my supervisors to run it efficiently while they are not present. I have been doing this service for my community because I enjoy helping out others and teaching new volunteers how to run the Gift Shop

    For my sixty hours of volunteer work I decided to volunteer at a Child Life Center which was in a poverty stricken area in Norfolk, Va. At the child life center my job as a volunteer was to assist the children with their homework, help the staff monitor the children on local field trips, as well as serve as a positive role model for the children. The experience I had at Park Place Child Life Center was one I will honestly never forget. Although I didn’t get any actual counseling experience, I was able to learn the ways that the non-profit organization received their funding, I was able to gain experience in working with the youth, and I was also able to make a positive impact on the lives of children who were considered “at-risk youth”. To go there every day and be able to see the change the children had in their behaviors and how much just some attention and affection from adults impacted their behaviors was honestly amazing.…

This quote was used daily during my last three summers at OU Medical Center. We came into the office every morning at 8:30 am, answered the daily icebreaker with other teens, got assigned our tasks, and went out to bring smiles throughout the hospital.…

    In the past few years, I’ve volunteered with a variety of organizations from National Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society, and Key Club. I have also co-founded a Community Outreach Club at high school. Through the Church I’ve assisted with Vacation Bible School and middle school retreats. One of my favorite memories came from volunteering for the first time with National Spanish Honor Society. Choosing to participate in this program was not a difficult decision, since I knew I wanted to continue practicing my Spanish and volunteer in the community at the same time.…

    I feel that I can make a difference in each patient’s life that I encounter, it might be as small as getting a wheelchair if they seem flaccid or weak, a blanket if they are cold, something to drink or just talking to a patient to get their mind off pre-surgery. I look forward to volunteering each week. The most rewarding day by far was being able to witness a nurse giving CPR to a child choking. She saved his life. I would want to someday be able to be able to save a life, not for the recognition but because I want to make a difference.…
