My palms were sweaty as I walked into the University of North Carolina Hospital (UNCH) for my first day. As I navigated through all of the patients and doctors I realized I was out of my element. I only knew how to get to two places: the gift shop, where I told to volunteer, and volunteer services, where I was told to check in.
