Gave a kid a stethoscope yesterday.

Kid on my caseload (I am an adoptions worker) yesterday was her 17th birthday. She wants to become an RN, taking classes in high school leading to LPN certification. She loves pink. Gave her a bright pink Sprague Rappaport as a reminder of my belief in her and her ability to become a nurse. She was delighted. Most likely she and youger sister were up late last night listening to their hearts.

I have thought of giving kids stethoscopes on Halloween while they are trick or treating. I was always amused what their reactions might be if they noticed it was a stethoscope and not candy.

Wow. There should be more workers like you! Kudos to you.

Very cool and impressive, Very kind of you to do. Even better they have a new family. I can relate. Be proud of yourself. I wonder IF they did listen all night. Well done.
