Week 2 of my service at Halifax Health Hospice was eye opening. I never realized just how important it is for people to contribute to their community until I started doing full meal services on my own. It is difficult to explain the frustration and anxiety that goes into cooking for 10 people by yourself where everything has to be perfect and you are by yourself.
Whilst frustration however I have found a new appreciation for the those who do come in and help at this site. I have grown to appreciate each of them as people, as well as role models. Many of the people I have begun to establish friendships with are older and wiser, and there is something to be said for contributing guidance from your elders.
