As I was sitting in the pediatric waiting room in the St. Cloud hospital, I could not have been more terrified. I was a little frustrated that I was the pediatric side of the hospital because the room was filled with children with about 4 other teenagers, at most.

Prior to beginning this program, I was so excited to be getting a medically centered education, and learning about the field I wanted to expand my career in. After entering the program and learning that there is so much more to medicine than just taking care of patients, I began to lose my interest. This was shocking to me since, my whole life up until this year, I believed I was going to become an amazing medical doctor.
The date was February 22, 1980 in a snowy Lake Placid New York; “Morrow up to Silk, you’ve got five seconds left in the game, do you believe in miracles? Yes!” and so it began.

Simple things such as Mathew's family bringing him food and the presence of his close ones caused helped him recover faster because he has their full moral support which is something that some doctors cannot do. The transcription process was harder and longer than I have expected. It requires a lot
Work with children Throughout my high school and college years, I have had several experiences with children that have all played a part in shaping my love for working with children. During high school, I spent two summers nannying for two young school aged children. Working with these siblings really made me realize how much fun I have working with children and watching them grow. Once I came to college, I started another babysitting job working with two four year old twin girls.
