Legacy Community Health

I spoke with Ashley Turner, the volunteer coordinator for the Montrose Legacy Community Health Clinic, and she showed me around the Clinic where I would be helping out. I was helping out with mainly filing paper work and administrative assistance, yet I could not help but feel to be a part of something bigger. It was such a great feeling knowing that I was working for my own time, and that others were very excited for me to just offer my time. The employees that I work with are all so proud of what they do, and they are very helpful when I ask questions. Many of them tell me that since I am applying to med school, it is important for me to have these kinds of experiences, and I agree. I cannot help but feel like I am gaining incredible amounts of life experience, more so than if I was reading a book in a classroom. I know that the employees here take great pride in what they do, and it gives them great satisfaction in life. I know that I wish to feel the same way when I am helping out my community in the future. This position will really help me decide on what I want to do with my life and where I would like to spend my time helping others.
