Undergraduate / 'volunteering in the Cardiology Clinic' - COMMON APP SHORT [13]
Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below (1000 character maximum):
When I was younger I savoured my summer days making sure I spent each and every day doing something I couldn't do during the school year.But as I got older I started to get the urge to go out and do something productive.I loved going to work with my father in the hospital, so as soon as I was old enough to volunteer there I sent in all the necessary paper work and awaited a phone call from the Volunteering Office.When I finally got it I learned that I was to be volunteering in the Cardiology Clinic.My supervisor took me under her wing and taught me everything I needed to know. She refused to let my days be filled with endless filing and paperwork so she taught me about devices used to monitor the heart and what they show.She took me with her to see patients and explained to me their unfortunate heart defects and how to go about treating them.I spent two summers there and each was just as productive and rewarding as the last.
What do you think?
