What the Students Say… ~ When the kids clapped after my reading and were quiet during my reading, I felt very important. I loved the attention they gave me and that they wanted me to read again. ~ I work with geriatrics now and was thinking of nursing home work after graduation – it gave me an insight as to the different patients in nursing homes and how things run. The staff there was so important to my patient’s transition and I want to help people make that transition. ~ It opened my eyes to the dangers of Bush Honeysuckle.
