Hey guys, I wanted to just quickly do a blog post on one reason why I love Footprints as an organization. It is an organization that encapsulates the word: “together.” Rooted deep down, the family enables members to do activities with others as a group; for example, making crafts for the unit, having a shift buddy, having a big/little… The list goes on and on. The idea of togetherness caused my admiration for Footprints to grow over time as I got to know more people within the organization.
One particular aspect of Footprints that I found joy in doing was making videos for the CLTV YouTube Channel with my friend Eugene. I love to play sports and Eugene does as well, so our interest piqued video ideas that we could make for the kids on the unit. I was always someone who enjoyed making videos and films since high school, and I thought it was the perfect intersection between my interests and the goal of Footprints: to allow kids to "just be kids." Eugene and I have accumulated two videos (serving a pickleball and kicking a soccer ball tutorial) over the past two semesters. Although it did take a lot of attempts to make, I always have fun making them. I hope to provide an outlet for entertainment and a sense of togetherness for the patients watching in the hospital or at home through my love of sports and filmmaking. With my time left in Footprints, I hope to bring more lasting impacts to the people I call family.
