My fourth week at Mencap started off slowly, however this made it all the more amazing and beautiful when the child I was working with began to laugh as I blew bubbles around the room. He was quiet and a little impatient for the first hour or so, but when we went into the craft room and got the bubble blowing bottle out, the change in his behaviour and facial expressions was outstanding. He laughed for nearly hour (while I tried not to swallow any bubble making liquid!), which was really special. For me, I learnt that after a bit of perseverence, there is likely to be something that will make a child smile.
When I'm at Mencap, I feel like I can forget about all my worries, however little or large, and just enjoy the moments spent having fun and helping the children, which just increases my determination to study medicine; there is nothing better than the feeling of making someone happy.
