Check out Brandi Baines's inspiring time at the Allen School Medical Assistant Program. See how her and her classmates raised $1,200 to donate to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Foundation.

1. During my time at the Allen School, I have learned a lot. My experiences
helped me grow both personally and professionally. At first, I was not
100% sure this was what I wanted to do but as time went on, I made friends
and we helped pull each other through. During each module, I pushed my-
self harder and harder. Third module was the toughest for me because we
had 5 different classes. Any obstacle that got in my way, there were teach-
ers I could go to to help me through and get focused on my studies. My
classmates never let me give up. It is so important to have a good support
system. You never know what a person may be going through. I learned a
lot in my classes. My favorites were EKG and Phlebotomy. I am so happy
that I get the opportunity to put those skills to use now, on my internship.
One of the best parts of my experience at the Allen School was participat-
ing in Students Learning For a Cause. My class chose Hodgkin's Lymphoma
to raise awareness. We did a bake sale, pot luck, fish fry and wing fest.
As a result, we raised over $1,200 to donate to the Leukemia & Lymphoma
Foundation. It was a great experience that pulled my classmates together,
and allowed us to gain a great sense of self worth knowing that we helped
people out. These 6 months went by so fast. It was, by no means, an easy
trip, but when you give 100%, you will get 100% back. If I had to do it all
over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I had some good times and I made
it!
