12/15/2019 0 Comments Week 11: ExperienceFor these last two weeks I will be focusing on raising the rest of what I need to meet my goal. I want to tell a big thank you to Gym 365 for sponsoring my fundraiser because I couldn't have done it without their support. I will no longer be going back to fundraise this week or the next due to my shadowing.
This week I will be shadowing pediatric specialist, Dr. McBride, at Brenner's. On Monday, I made the donations box more attention grabbing and made sure to let my social media pages such as Instagram and Facebook know to come visit Sandra's treasures and donate. On Saturday my mom is going to have a Christmas open house along with Santa, so I made flyers to encourage the most people I could to come because they could potentially donate. Thursday and Friday I had the opportunity to go shadow Dr. McBride after school. The director Cindy Caine was able to get me an hour of shadowing with her each day. At first I was kind of sad that I wasn't going to get as much time as I initially wanted at the beginning of this project but pediatrics run on a tight schedule and so am I currently. On Thursday McBride led me through the sanitation procedures in order to interact with some of her patients. Then she talked about how it is difficult to see stressed and worried families but how rewarding it feels to help their children and see them go home healthy. It is important to be patient and flexibility with this type of job. On Friday she asked me why I was interested in pediatrics and I answered with, "I love helping those who are in need, especially children". She told me that I should ask myself questions before pursuing this career. She said she is always optimistic when helping her patients and their families because having hope goes a long way. The whole experience was more than I could of asked for! Just as I expected. the donations box got a total of $47 by the end of Saturday evening, The fundraiser is now at $570. Even if I don't make it to my goal by the end of week 12 I will still be incredibly pleased because I feel like I have still come a long way not just for the fundraiser but myself too. Stay healthy!!!!!
