briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experience.helpp!

I have always been interested in assisting others and working in a medical environment so at the end of my junior year in High School, I applied to work at Riderwood Retirement Community. When hired as a Waitress in one of their prestigious restaurants, I began contemplating the anxieties and challenges ahead. My anxiety was bolstered during the orientation when we were told to not break any of the expensive tableware. But after two weeks of tough and painful training, I began to adore working at Riderwood. Initially, I didn't think the senior citizens would have such a great impact on me. However, Mrs. Anderson reminded so much of my Grandmother. At a very young age, I came to the United States which meant leaving most of my family behind including my Grandmother. Unfortunately, we rarely kept in touch after the move. However, being able to see and chat with Mrs. Anderson three days a week has helped make up for the lost time with my Grandmother. I really enjoyed seeing that even with my limited knowledge about waitressing; I was able to make a difference in the daily routine of the restaurant. There is no doubt that working in this retirement community has indeed evoked my intense interest to focus my career in the medical field.
