One of my favorite service learning experiences was my volunteer service at a hospital in India during the summer before my senior year. I worked with my uncle in his hospital and helped with taking blood pressure, temperature, pulse, and other basic medical procedures that could easily be learned. This experience was very positive and productive because it allowed me to help those in need. I worked with the families of the paitients and saw some of the conditions these people were living in. I believe by doing medicine you can help those less fortunate than you as my uncle is doing and being a part of that was amazing. This experience will carry on to my other service learning opportunities as many of the same skills will need to be used when dealing with children. The same respect needs to be given to the children as was given to the paitients. You have to be paitient and work through problems together. Although these two services will be very different, they will also be very similar.
