For Him

CHAPTER 3

When we arrived at the hospital, my dad came to a complete stop at the front entrance. I jumped out of the car and turned to my dad before heading inside the hospital. " I'll be right back!" I said with a goofy smile.

" okay I'll just got park over there! Meet me out here when your done." My dad said pointing at one of the empty parking stalls.

"Okay sounds good! See you soon! " I said closing the car door shut and make my way inside!

I hugged my resume close to my chest as I made my way to the front desk.

"Hello" I said to the front receptionist. The receptionist looked maybe in her 50s. She had blonde hair it was short like a pixie cut. "I was hoping that I could apply for the volunteer position I saw in the newspaper." I said with a friendly tone.

"Oh, of course honey! " she said smiling flashing her bright white teeth. "I'll go get the form you can fill out. Do you have a resume on you?"

"Yes I do." I said holding it out so she could see.
"Perfect! I'll take that from you." She said grabbing it out of my hand gently. " I'll go give this to Jennifer...then we can get you in for a interview. You can fill this application form out while I'm gone. I'll be right back." She said turning around and going into a room just behind her.

The sheet seemed pretty straight forward.
Like my name, sex, contact information, address, etc.

"Jennifer, can see you right now." The receptionist said when she come out.

"Oh right now?" I said confused. Usually they arrange interviews, was not expecting one today. I suddenly became nervous.

"Yes is that okay? " she said with a serious face. " we can reschedule? But it would probably be move to next week."

"No no it's fine ! Right now is perfect." I said trying to not to sound nervous.
"Awesome! Then come with me." She said smiling. When we got to the front of Jennifer's office she said " Here we are ..and honey don't be nervous you'll be fine! You'll definitely get to volunteer here , I can see you are taking this very seriously.. your the perfect fit. My name is Tracy btw! But good luck even though you don't need it! " she said walking back where we came from. Did I seem too nervous? Was it obvious? What Tracy had just said made me feel a bit better, and I really hope what she said is true.

I knock on Jennifer office door.
"Come in!" I opened the door to see a woman with straight brown hair that when just past her shoulders, she looked a little older then Tracy.

"Hello and you are Ariana? " she said standing up and waking in front of her desk. One chair sat in front of her desk.
" Adriana" I said smiling.

"Oh, I'm sorry I'm terrible with names! Forgive me. Well, it's nice to meet you Adriana. I'm Jennifer!"

"It's nice to meet you to Jennifer, thanks for letting me get an interview today!" I said hoping she won't notice that I was nervous.

" oh , no problem at all!! Please come have a sit" she said tapping the sit that was in front of her desk. When we both sat down the air seem
to become thick. I feel more nervous now. I keep repeating in my head, everything is okay, everything is okay. It only an interview!

" So Adriana, I just want to get to know you more." She said taking out a note pad and pen from her desk. She begin writing on it. " why is it you want to volunteer here?"

" Well, actually I thought it was give me a little sense into my future job. I hope to become a nurse after high school." I said relaxing a little more, since what I said seemed to impress her.

" oh really ! That's awesome! This will definitely give you a head start." She said writing on her note pad again. "You may not be doing what the nurses are doing. But you'll see what the nurse do everyday." She said nodding her head.

I nodded in agreement. " And I understand that, I'll just be happy helping and talking with the patients for now." I said with a small smile.

"Yes, that's perfect." She said with a big smile. "I'll be there explaining everything the first day. We will start you out with one patient, for a little bit then see from there."  Did I get it?!!!

"That sound great ! Thank you so much!" I said excitingly.

"Your welcome dear, we are happy to have you here." She said with a beaming. "We can start you tomorrow? You only have to spend a hour or less..depends on how the patient is that day." She said looking up from her note pad.

"Yeah that's fine!" I said thrilled. Wow I'm starting tomorrow!
"Okay perfect, I'll see you tomorrow at 2 then!" She said extending her hand.

Thank you! See you then" I said and shaking her hand back and walking out of the hospital to my dads car.

Once I got in the car I was bombed with questions. "So, did you get it? When do you start? What are you going to be doing? Did you arrange a interview?"

"Wow, slow down there dad. One question at a time." I laughed. "I just had an interview and I start tomorrow at 2."

"That's awesome!! I'm so proud of you!" He said placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Thanks dad" I said smiling knowing if I didn't have my dad around I won't have seen that ad.

"Okay let go get some ice cream to celebrate." He said a bit to exciting.

I laughed. " Dad, I'm not five..." I said shaking my head. "But that sounds great."

" Your never to old to for ice cream." He said as we made are way to the ice cream place.

I just shook my head. This is why I love my dad.
