This past week has seem pretty jam packed for me. The first
few days of the week were spent in the hustle and bustle of Tafelsig Clinic,
where my internship placement is now. I can’t express enough how much I’m
learning here! The best part about it is I’m really starting to see how my
tough science courses from back at UConn really do apply in real life
situations, and how cool is that? It’s also completely confirming for me that
medical is the field I belong in. There’s no better feeling than the feeling
that you’re helping someone in need.
Today was a particularly spectacular day because I can
finally say I reached the top of the one and only Table Mountain!! There are
little words I have to describe the beauty I saw all around me in the three and
a half hours it took to reach the summit. My body is EXHAUSTED but my soul is
practically on fire! I’m feeling especially grateful for my health today. It’s
so easy to be in a place like Cape Town and instantly feel grateful for all you
have, especially working at Tafelsig and seeing people suffer in poverty and
illness. I hope I can continue to grow in my gratitude and be able to bring it
all home with me!
