Currently, I work as a Virology Lab Technologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota. There, I found myself dealing with the minutest life forms and the ability of these organisms to impinge upon the health of the human body. But I also learned through less formal experiences in medicine and interactions with patients, which I count as a kind of success as well.

Surveys show that

The field workers will be required to return every evening to rest and recharge their efforts. When they return, there will be a debriefing session to discuss the day's events and the structure of the effort for the next day. A daily assessment will be made of the volunteers' emotional state, and decisions made regarding their position in the effort. Those who suffer breakdowns will be sent away for professional
Volunteering for a Clinical Research Trial People accept to participate in clinical trials as volunteers for a number of reasons. In addition to fulfilling that inherent desire to help others, most people feel that participating in such trials helps move science forward (National Institutes of Health - NIH, 2014). Clinical trials, in essence, "look at new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease" (NIH, 2014). Personally, I have never participated in
As part of the community service requirement, students will also gain valuable experience in service that cannot be provided by most part time jobs that are accessible to teenagers. The requirement will give students ideas about possible professions as well, from becoming a social worker, to a hospital employee, a teacher -- even a forest ranger! From the community's point-of-view, the local community will benefit from the added aid to charitable
