last day of volunteering

On 4/13, I volunteered at San Jose clinic. I helped package artwork that would be auctitioned at a auction for the clinic. I felt really glad to help the less fortunate as the money from the auction will go into helping people with no health insurance. I enjoyed working at san jose clinic; I will consider volunteering there in the summer. I feel appreciated and happy to use my time to help others. Throughout my volunteering experience with the clinic, I've sorted through diabetic health care packages and helped with supplies inventory. I've also conducted a room inventory. All these things I know will help the doctors perform their jobs at maximum productivity. I've enjoyed working at the clinic.

3/23, 3/30

The previous week (3/23) I helped look for msds sheets for some of the chemicals used. I thought it was interesting since I've learned in chemistry what msds sheets are and how there's one for every chemical and/or equipment. On 3/30, I sorted through care packages for diabetic patients by sorting toothpaste, syringes, and lotion. I felt close to the patients as diabetes run in my family and it made me feel like I'm making a difference, small though it may be.
