December Extra Blog:

During this entire month of December, I found out that my second mentor, Mina Wassef, quit his job at Del's Pharmacy 1 during winter vacation. I wasn't mad, upset, or even sad, I felt happy for him that he was able to find a better job somewhere more vivid. I know that he will mold his career into a great success in the future as a great pharmacist. Of course, I felt like a rock in a hard place, but I try to bare with it. Even though my time was short with him, he taught me a lot and I am very glad I got to meet Mina.

Since I am mentor-less this month, the only thing I was able to do was head out and start on my Independent Component. I volunteered at a Glendora Grand Nursing Home as a member of the Activities Program. There, I help set up games, snacks, and assist the elderly within this events to enjoy themselves in the Nursing home. I would describe it as bringing in a bit of Brightness within these residents. I was only able to come in on every other day of the week, starting around 10am-3pm or 5pm.

So far, I have experience Bingo in the program and have created a new elderly man. His name is, Donny, I assist him during Bingo and chat with him about random stuff and he is a very humorous type of person. Sometimes he can be such a flatter when it comes to Bingo because he would often win. Lot of the seniors are very entertaining to watch and to observe their way of their behavior and interaction with other employee, some act as if they were still like children. At the end, I learn a something to keep my mind high about that I think it is a great meaning in my topic:
"Every patient is different." It is so obvious...but why..? My mind wonders about...
