at the Healthcare for the Homeless Houston, the more familiar I am with all of the other volunteers, dental assistants, dentists, and homeless patients. I get the chance to make new memories with new friends and really get to know the patients really well. Today, I saw Mark again at the clinic, one of the homeless patients that I had met who comes to the clinic frequently on the days that I volunteer. Mark and I would talk every time we would see each other, bonding over subjects such as sports and camping. We had alot in common, and I always enjoyed his company, creating friendships in unexpected places. The workers and I have also become good friends as we would joke around at the clinic. This morning I called one of the workers to let her know that I was going to come in a little late. She joked and said that I owe her a box of Halloween candy or she wont open the door for me. I am very glad that I was able to make good friends at HHH, not only with the workers but also the patients. I trust my friends and family and learned how important having a good relationship with others really is. Whether it is your spouse, family, friends, or God, I believe that maintaining a good relationship, caring, and being there for the ones you love is the most important thing.
