I remember applying to be a Crossroads Health Center VIP thinking, there’s no way I’ll get this
but might as well try. And I was ecstatic when I was accepted, I had been so nervous waiting to
hear back. I had never tried to get a position like this before, which was deterring at first, but it
made me really think of why I wanted it so bad.
I have always been hard-working and wanting to help others, it was just a matter of how. I am
currently a Pre-Pharmacy student and I wanted to gain so experience. I already work in a lab
with research though, I wanted something more personal than handing a patient their
prescription. I wanted to get to know the patients, to understand their needs, and assist them
in the best way possible. That is what drew me to this internship so much, I wanted to be able
to show how much I really cared.
Throughout working for Crossroads Health Center I have been able to continue assisting patients
even through COVID. I have been extremely grateful to be able to continuously support and
help our patients through these trying times, especially when healthcare is so important. It
breaks my heart to hear them talk of how difficult it is to balance everything, but this only
makes me work harder. I want to be able to help lift the burdens that are not needed when I
can support them. And hearing a simple thank you is more than enough when I know that their
day has been made a little easier.
