As a student healthcare professional, having the opportunity to help people achieve wellness would be incredibly rewarding, particularly in a setting such as Honduras where healthcare is especially lacking. This opportunity specifically interests me because I can use the skills I have learned so far such as monitoring blood pressure, taking physical assessments, giving vaccinations and counseling patients on medications. I feel that I actually have something useful to offer to these people in need. I want to be a part of something that is much bigger than myself. Learning about the people of Honduras and their healthcare needs would provide me with invaluable insight about the world and its people, an understanding that I would be unable to gain elsewhere. I can’t wait to meet the people of Honduras!
