Weeks 1 and 2

I am a new Bonner this year at Lindsey Wilson College. I have chosen the Summit Manor Nursing Home as my main sight. I've had my orientation there and have volunteered two afternoons. I've really enjoyed visiting with the elderly. At first it was challenging. I wasn't sure what to expect, but now that I have my feet wet I think I'll really like volunteering there. I have visited with some of the residents. I have also helped the activity director with activities like ice cream socials, ball toss, and bingo. It's a very positive environment, and there is always something to help with or someone to visit. So far, it's been a good experience for me :)
