Navigating the Medical Maze: My Adventures Volunteering at Kaiser Permanente Hospital!

Bustling into the Hospital

Stepping into KP Volunteering, I was greeted by a lady at the front desk beaming like the sun. Her warmth instantly put me at ease. After a quick chat about volunteering, she pointed me upstairs to the volunteering department.

Dressing the Part

Upstairs, I received a neon green T-shirt that screamed ‘Thrive’ and a badge with codes—my backstage pass to the hospital. The coordinator led me through a maze to a keypad and granted me access. Finally, we found ourselves in the lair of two nurses working diligently.

Little did I know that this newfound skill would intertwine so beautifully with my role as the President of Emerald City Angels, a junior guild non-profit dedicated to the Seattle Children’s Hospital cause.

Hey there, fellow adventurers! I’m a 10th-grader with big dreams of becoming a doctor, and I recently embarked on an exciting journey as a volunteer at a health and wellness fair organized by the King County Promoters Network. Buckle up because I’m about to take you on a rollercoaster ride through my day filled with unexpected twists and valuable lessons.

The Backward Vest: My adventure began with a little wardrobe malfunction – I accidentally wore my volunteer vest backward. It was comically oversized, but I rocked it nonetheless.
