This Trip Changed My Life

Wow, I loved this trip. I had no idea that 8 days could change my life. I learned so much more than expected. I was introduced to Peruvian culture in Pucalpa while learning a great deal about the common diagnoses of the area. I've mastered taking blood pressure, heart rate, pregnancy tests, pulse, and glucose finger prick tests and I caught up on my Spanish. I learned so much from the doctors, the nurses, the translators, the local people, the hotel staff, and especially my peers. In the short 8 days we were there, we became a family. It was an amazing experience I'll never forget.
I cannot wait to go on my next trip. I want to go everywhere and volunteer!
