March Reflection

This program is slowing coming to a close. This past month I spent a lot of my time studying for the Med Pharm Shelf exam which we finished a couple of weeks ago. Studying for the shelf wasn’t too bad because everything that we had learned throughout the year came back to me pretty easily. Now that the exam is over we just have a couple of Cell Control exams left as well as presentations for a couple different classes. Also this past month I did a good amount of volunteering. I worked again at the Second Harvest Food bank a couple of times as well as did three more days with Habitat for Humanity. One of the days I worked at the Food Bank, a local farm had donated a shipment of turnips. I wish I had taken pictures of the enormous amount of turnips that were there because these were some of the largest turnips I had ever seen in my life. My other volunteering at Habitat was pretty cool as well. Normally Habitat builds homes from the ground up. This particular site that I worked on every time I went this past month was all restoration to house that they had acquired. So I actually got to see progress happening every time I returned to the house which was pretty cool. The house was actually a duplex and when I left last Saturday, we had prepared one whole side of the house to have new sheet rock put in (which is happening Monday). The picture that I posted along with this post is where I was putting boards over the fire blocking so that the sheetrock would be leveled when installed. And of course safety first. Total Volunteer Hours: 32
