The Current Normal

After a year of doing the same thing at clinic every shift, there has been a change. The new students arrived a month ago, and, on the 21st of September, they started work in the clinic. Being new, they have lots of questions, and need quite a bit of help; so keep everyone else from going crazy trying to do their job and help the students acclimatize to life in the clinic, they've asked a couple of us 'older' students to come in on our days of to be there specifically for the new students. This means that I've had the opportunity to come in a couple of times for 12 hour shifts (only 12 hours!!) to help the new students get into the flow of things. It has been such a good change to be in the clinic, to be working, but to be working directly with the students instead of the clients. This experience has reminded me how much I enjoy working with the clients, but it has also given me a chance to better know the new students and influence them, teaching them to work as a team and look out for each other. It has been teaching me the importance of not letting others look down on me because of my age, but to set an example in my speech, my work, my life, my love, and my faith. 

*Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. ~1 Timothy 4:12
