Personal Narrative: My Internship At Miller's Children Hospital

I am currently doing my internship at Millers Children Hospital. So far I have enjoyed doing my hours at Miller because each day there is always something new to do and a new opportunity to learn. What I love about Miller is that every day you get to meet different people and I get to work with different staff as well. When I go to Miller I make sure that I perform the best of my capabilities.

It was very sad to me seeing some of the younger children trying to fight for their life. I put myself in these parents’ shoes and I don’t think I would be able to handle seeing one of my children ill. The hardest part for me is being a mother myself and seeing the emotional struggle these parents have to go through. Seeing how these young children are vulnerable and just knowing they are sick but seeing them act like any other children and being a happy trooper it is awesome especially seeing them smile and have a good time. When I am at Miller I make sure that the kids that are at the playroom are getting the attention they need and making sure that I am advocating for their needs, by being a good listener, to giving them the one on one interaction and by getting them ready for new arts and craft activities. This internship has made me valorize what I have in life and be thankful for what I have. It is so true that this career will make you a better person. I know that each day I will learn and grow into the helping profession
