Finishing the Service-Learning

I emailed Sam to email my volunteer hours directly, saving the trouble of printing out the form and going to the clinic to get it signed.

This semester has just flown by, and I can't believe the Med Micro final is in a week. The service learning aspect of the course has by far been one of the most interesting parts of my college education to date. I feel like I am leaving the course not only with new knowledge about diseases relevant to everyday life but also with knowledge about health care at an underserved clinic.

New experiences and realizations I gained this semester range from volunteering at Art with Heart to learning the greater necessity of medical profession Spanish. I need to learn some more working Spanish before I go to El Salvador in order to ease the experience there.

Overall, this service-learning experience has been well worth the effort and should definitely be continued in the future.
