My past week

My past week has been full of events. I am supposed to be mentoring in the Oncology department of Longstreet Clinic. I have been unable to start there at this point because of personal occurrences and communication issues. However, I am still really excited to start my mentorship there. I have already bought my scrubs. I made sure to get cute and bright scrubs in order to brighten the day of the patients I see. I love bright colors and pretty things which also correlated into the events of my past week. Last week, our school had spirit week for homecoming. The first day was tacky day. I went through my closet and pulled out the most in-cohesive clothing I could find (stripes, polka dots, etc.) and piled on jewelry. The next day was twin day. For this, I dressed up with my best friend. We wore bright yellow shirts with neon pink, blue, green, and orange hand prints on them and neon rainbow socks with orange bandannas. We then had nerd day and I went all out with a high waisted skirt, a long sleeve button up shirt, pens in my pocket and high socks. For 70's day I wore bell bottoms, pumps, and with peace signs. For blue day, I went all out and wore all blue with big blue eye make-up. I had a blast the entire week and on Saturday night at our homecoming dance.
I also had the great privilege of attending a speech at Gainesville College by Mrs. Godin who was a survivor of the Holocaust. She went through three labor camps and a concentration camp. Her story was vivid and empowering. Her speech filled me with sorrow for the awful time that the persecuted went through during World War II. The main reason that kept her going to schools and speaking to young people is because she firmly believes that in order to prevent something as awful as the Holocaust from happening again, the upcoming generations must be informed of the past. She was very informative and she greatly opened my eyes to the tragic occurrences of that time.
Through out this past week, I have been applying to colleges as well. I am beginning to realize that the impatience I had about going to college is beginning to wither. My nerves are beginning to set in and I am getting very worried about next year. I am still excited for what college will bring but I am nervous about being out on my own in this large world.
Below are some pictures that pertain to my mentorship. The first one is of Longstreet Clinic at the Cancer Center which is where I will be mentoring at. The second one is the area that the treatments are given. The third one is a patient getting treatment. The fourth one is the doctors of the Longstreet Oncology department.
