    Like any other clinical experience, going into the Salvation Army I set goals for what I would achieve during my learning experience to focus my learning and enrich my knowledge base.

This goal was reached by sitting with multiple individuals over their meal and talk to them about their hardships and what they were going through.

Voluntarily, I was able to contribute to the organization by having open conversations with the veterans, providing beverages, and having a great time. It wasn't till the end of the program when my perception began to change about the organization I volunteered for, it's more than just about kids…

Giving back to the community is one of the most gratifying and self-fulfilling experiences that one can have.…
