It was the beginning of June 2015. I had signed up to start volunteering at the Henry Ford Hospital. I was not sure what my job there would be, and I had no experience, whatsoever, working in a hospital. I knew that I would not be assigned a difficult job as it would be my first time working there.

Asking the head chef if I could do something else made me not feel shy to ask him any other questions. I got to know the head chef better and the other chefs. I would spend some of my lunch break talking to the other nurses. They recommended me cakes and tasty sugar free drinks. From that day on, I knew many people who worked in the
