The child life experience was very fun.  I used to be part of the child life team as an undergraduate at the UCLA mattel children’s hospital and this experience was essentially the same awesome-ness. I really enjoyed playing with the children and sort of “de-stress”ing from regular med school activities. I’m glad I got to hold and feed a baby too. In terms of reflecting, I wish I could have done some child life volunteering as a first or second year med student. I’m pretty disappointed b/c as a first year medical student I asked if there were any volunteer opportunities to play with kids and/or hold babies and nobody in the questionable administration could point me in the right direction. These kids are so resilient and just make me smile so much. I just feel so blessed to be able to hang out with them.

my “reflection” paragraph.. gawd i hate it when med skool wants me to reflect on stupid stuff.. i’m introverted.. i reflect enough in my head.. and i’m terrible with my words.. this is the kind of crap you get with my reflections..
