Service hours this month: 6
Service hours this semester: 12
This past Friday after our final Cell Control exam, I completed my service hours by spending another day volunteering at Giving Hope Food Bank in New Orleans East through Second Harvest. I was glad that I was able to spend more time helping our community by distributing food to those who need it. Food is such a big part of the culture of New Orleans, and no one should have to worry where their next meal will come from. I always enjoy getting to talk to new people, and it was a rewarding experience helping others in such a meaningful way. After completing my service, I took the rest of the weekend to relax now that we are done with exams. I was able to go to Jazz Fest Sunday with a couple friends, and we had a great time. I’ve been going to Jazz Fest since I was a kid when my mom would bring me, so it is nice to see a New Orleans tradition return following the pandemic.
As our master’s program comes to an end, I am excited to see what the future holds for all of my classmates. It was great getting to know everyone, and I hope that our paths will cross again in the future. Overall, I really enjoyed the program, and I know that our backgrounds in pharmacology will be invaluable in medical school. I am looking forward to graduation and taking some time off this summer to relax before medical school. I’ll wrap up this blog by thanking all of our professors and administrators at Tulane for their support throughout the year, I appreciate the time and effort put in the ensure the program runs smoothly.
Until next time,
Garth
