First day of counseling

Last Saturday was my first day of counseling. I had no words to describe how I feel after working and helping all the women that came to the Bronx´s office I worked that day.

I have never done something like that before. As I posted earlier, this was my first time working and serving on this. So I am very impressive after it.

Before I could counsel, I had to see how other interns do it, so I could learn how I have to counsel as well as my partners do. After that I had my first counseling.
 I had a frustrated 16 years old girl that was undecided. Her boyfriend is 17 years old, and he supports everything at all she wants to do, ethier keep it or not. And also her mother alleged that she wanted to be a grandmather. So I started to do a pregnancy test and showing her the horrible truth about abortion. The young girl was so impressed by the video I showed to her. After that, I talked to her about all the great free alternatives that EMC can offer her by keeping at the same time the baby. Finally she decided to keep the little baby.
I cannot describe how happy I am now knowing that the young girl is going to have the baby, futhermore, I am glad knowing one more time we saved an innocente life.
