For this month’s service, I completed another sack lunch give away to the homeless here in the city. The last time I went, I noticed how many people I wasn’t able to give food to and wanted to do more. When picking service, I look for an activity that puts me in direct contact with the population I seek to serve. This time I conducted the sack lunch give away by myself. Although it was slightly more difficult to accomplish, the relief of the people who did receive a sack lunch made it all worth it. I have some left-over materials that I will be passing out tomorrow before the test. Feeding the homeless is a service activity I do with my mother back at home in Nashville. The homeless population is not as bad as it is here. So, it’s important to me to carry on that tradition and make an impact in this community while I am attending the program. Hours Completed in December: 4.5   Total Hours: 12

This month has been slightly more challenging than the last. I had such an intense focus about myself the first two blocks. I’m not sure if the third block's material was more difficult or what. I for sure feel slightly knocked off balance. The program overall has been great. I’ve felt many times since moving to New Orleans that I made the right decision to come here. So even though, I feel a little out of whack right now, I’m sure I’ll be fine. The current cardiovascular block has definitely given me a run for the money. The study methods I previously used seem not to be as fruitful. I’m having trouble commuting the various drugs to memory.   When we did the CBL and the simulation, concepts started to click. Moving forward I need to think of myself in a clinical setting when studying these drugs. I’m hoping that by visualizing a patient that’s reliant on me to know what medications to give them will help make these drugs more significant. The simulation exercise was by far the b...

November’s service consisted of making sack lunches for the homeless around Tulane’s downtown campus. When I moved here I noticed the large population of homeless that live in the park near the library and under the bridge. I decided it would be a good idea to just provide a meal and take one less worry away from them. Hanaiah and Michaela helped me prepare the lunches and pass them out around campus. It was beyond rewarding to help the people I pass everyday. We plan on completing another lunch give away this month before exams are done. We are also thinking about passing out winter essentials such as gloves and hats. Hours: 4      Total Hours: 7.5
