Day 3 in Mexico City.
Looking back on some of my personal journal entries this week I read things like, ¨God give me passions that make my heart beat fast” and “Be the change you wish to see in the world”…. this is so what Ivé been waiting for.
Being my 4th time in Mexico, my 1st in Mexico City we have hit the pavement running. Beginning with the local clinic, and ending with time in the Red Cross Trauma I am once again aware of the purpose God has placed nursing in my life. In situations like these you feel a whirlwind of emotions. We have met some incredibly wonderful and hospitable people and are practicing our Spanish every day.
Some of my more recent experiences include; giving haircuts (my first ever), listening to a woman´s stomach only to find out she was carrying twins, being asked to speak on spanish radio, and sorting out millions of tiny pills into individual sized packages. The care we are providing seems so basic and mostly having to do with nutritional complications, and it reminds me how passionate God has made me for human rights.
Everyone should have the right to be healthy. To have a toothbrush and clean water and antibiotics when sick. I realize this problem is not just in Mexico but really a worldwide topic and pursuit. For me, I feel the beginning of a lifelong journey 
We will be trying to post photos and information during the next week or so. You can email me at Alexandra.McInerny06@northwestu.edu if you´d like. I Love you all terribly
