September
I have really enjoyed learning about the mechanisms of different diseases and drugs so far in this program. It has been such an incredible honor to learn from PhDs and Doctors of medicine. I am always anxious to tell my friends and loved ones what I am learning, and it is so exciting! This past month, I volunteered for a total 12 hours between August 30th and September 13th at the Lowernine Food Pantry. I've been volunteering at this food pantry for over a year now. I love this place because it truly feels like community. It can get messy and inefficient, but there's always good music and kind, hard-working people. There's so many regulars who come for food and who volunteer. I always love to catch-up with the manager (Naish) and his fiance (Berlin). Over the summer, Berlin was actually leading a program to teach young Black girls from all over the country about food systems and climate change. They were all so lovely and helpful, and this past Saturday was bittersweet sin...
