Community Service Day

Today Michigan Medical School had a day of community service. It began with some lunch for all the volunteers and then we had an amazing speaker named John Bacon. He gave a great speech about not loosing our humanity during medical school and when we practice in the future. We then divided up into our groups and went to the various sites. I went to Detroit to help paint the outside of a building that had been covered in graffiti. We worked with an organization in the neighborhood we were working in and had some of the neighborhood kids helping us out. We had fun painting and then had some yummy hotdogs and watermelon!! All in all it was a pretty fun and very tiring day. Back to the grind tomorrow and our first sequence final is at the end of the week! (I also attached a YouTube video we watched between lunch and the speaker that was hilarious!)
