on being a guide

I stepped into the Peds ER, was asked to bandage an ankle. And before I knew the two quiet latinas sitting at their sons bedside were asking me all the questions in the world. does he need follow-up, what is this medicine the doctor prescribed, can he get a note for school to use the elevator, is he going to be ok and some. Move to the next bed to find a mom with a chronically ill son who is monolingual spanish and is dealing with complicated seizure medications, who calls me over to ask what fluticasone is. they prescribed it to her son and she uses it, but she didn't know what it was for. Flash to walking to lunch out on the quad, atleast two people ask me for directions, everyday, anytime. My classmate turns to me and says, wow people always ask you for stuff? how do they know you can help? Guess its these pretty brown eyes, tanned skin, unkept curly hair and approachable face.
