This is my last official post for this service learning project; and I have to say that I did indeed learn alot. The San Jose Clinic is doing amazing things everyday to change lives and I am glad that I have been able to be a part of it, no matter how insignificantly. I hope to continue to volunteer at the clinic in my spare time, and on into med school when I can hopefully contribute in a larger way that has more of an impact medically. I can only imagine what kind of situtation health care administration will find itself in after the full implementation of the new legislature--hopefully it will be a positive result. Also, we definitely need to look into having Tri-Beta volunteer at Art with Heart again if the date is feasable (last year it was on graduation) because that is the main event where San Jose is able to collect generous funds for what they do, and a lot of effort goes into pulling off the successful event right down to helping out with the bidding itself the night of so that the clinic can benefit to the maximum amount. Having taken the Honors Service Learning Course, and having a service learning component in Cell, Medical Microbiology, and Ecology has definitely added a more tangible aspect to the course so that you are reminded of the bigger picture. Good night, and good luck...I'm going to need luck for those finals tomorrow ;)
