today i did my first volunteer nurse-ness. it was so fun. a bunch of us helped do health screenings at the texas folklife festival (which is basically full of sweets, and unhealthy food, and jumpy-kiddy games). we did blood pressures (automatic ones, because it was too loud to do real ones...), cholesterol, glucose, and bmi's. and i didn't kill anyone while pricking them with the little auto-lancets. and i maybe made a difference in someone's life, and made them want to eat healthier and try to exercise more! and i experienced different cultures and lifestyles, and it was all amazing!
and then at the end of the day i ate a baclava sundae!
and all these people who were excited to start eating healthier and exercising more motivated me to keep trying to eat healthy, and keep exercising as much as possible so i can be a Really Great example!!
