Last saturday I had my first volunteering session.I helped out at a party titled "The secret is coming out".The Montrose Counceling center collaborated with Pride Houston and another Gay-Lesbian Organization.The party contained an auction of art pieces in order to raise money for these organizations.Even the mayor of Housten Annise Parker attended the event.Our job was to "take care" of the guests by bringing them drinks and answering questions about the event.
It was a new experience for me since I have never really been involved with the gay-lesbian-transsexual community.I also had a hard time relating this experience to cell biology.So I was considering changing my clinic to Ben Taub.I guess you are slowly getting to realize how indecisive I really am.
But I guess the event is something different from helping out directly at the clinic.So I will try to be more active in the daily routine at the clinic rather then helping out at special events.
At the same time I also think it is important to realize and recognize the social work of the clinic.Helping during these events not only raises money but is also improving the image of the constitution.
