The second week that I volunteered at San Jose, I helped put together brochures for the clinic. After I was done with that, I had to combined medication to conserve space. There was not much that was needed to be done since there were several other volunteers there as well. Then Sam and I actually went around the clinic looking for an open computer so that I could type up and print out labels for the new physicians' mailbox. This only took me a few minutes to complete and I was done for the day.
The third week, a classmate and I were assigned the task of looking up the top 5 zip codes that San Jose patients come from. Then we looked up all the schools to which belongs to the zip codes. Most schools were from HISD. The clinic actually used this information to actually reach out to the schools. The clinic wants to let more people be aware of the services that is provided by the clinic and the expansion in healthcare at their new location. I think this is a great way of letting more people take advantage of the services. Many people are probably not aware of this opportunity so by reaching out to the schools, the clinic is able to expand into the community. This makes me feel that the little span of time that I offer to the clinic is well worth it.

Duyen, you have had only two posts the entire semester and you are supposed to have 10...one every week for 10 weeks. I guess I will count this as two but you need to make sure and write a blog each week for next 7 weeks. I think your second paragraph in this blog is more reflective. Please try to make sure that your blogs are reflective.
