With the end of my full-time summer job coming quickly, I've been getting several good-bye's and well-wishes from the residents. Although I am not leaving completely, working only on Saturdays will seem like nothing compared to the 5/6 shifts a week I've been working throughout the summer.
But tonight it really hit me - I will no longer be a regular face at DP. Someone else will be taking over my routine. And for a moment, I could barely stop myself from crying!! All summer I've been building friendships with these people, enjoying life just a day at a time. I have seen residents come and go, struggle through bad days and celebrate the good days. But what I think it the coolest part is how much I have learnt while working there - about health care, about myself, and about life. And I must say, when school comes, I will sure be missing them.
