Highs and Lows

I've always enjoyed being with children, and I absolutely adore being able to play with children. Although I staffed the craft area of a clinic, I was able to develop relationships with some of the patients. As most of the children that visit the Journey Clinic have more severe diseases, they're often required to come in on a weekly basis for their treatment. I got to know some of the children and their preferences quite well.

However, the number of patients I would see during my shift often varied. Some days would be extremely busy, and I'd barely get a chance to stop and breath. Other days, there seemed to be no one in the clinic and I would spend my time sanitizing everything. The toys the children play with have to be cleaned in between each use as they cannot have any contamination, and cleaning the toys can be a bit monotonous.
