As a result, I started conversation with her and offered suggestions about ways to taking drugs without conveying disapproving feelings, actions. I spent time to help her have a meal by touching her hand. Touch is effective in providing comfort (Stevens,1975). I was delighted that she started to accept and be kind to communicate with me.

While assisting my dad, I had the opportunity to engage all types of different people. I enjoyed learning about their physical and emotional strengths as well as helping them work through their struggles in both sickness and health.

The more I asked them questions and the more I watched them work, the more captivated I became by their role and realized I wanted to be in their position. As a result, I believe that my close working relationship with the Pathologists ' and Pathologists ' Assistants, as well as the exposure and knowledge I have gained by working in the department will help me succeed, particularly in Loma Linda University 's Pathologists ' Assistant program.
