Hamilton - The City That Stole My Heart

Most people, when they hear/read above title cringe or roll their eyes! How could such an old city that's filled with factories and pot filled roads hold such a place in one's heart? Keep reading... and you'll hear my side of how AND why! 

As a little girl I often travelled with my family from Kitchener to Niagara Falls and my favourite part was coming down the hill into Hamilton and seeing the flame going over Burlington bridge. For some reason these things fascinated me! As soon as I started driving I took as many trips as I possibly could to visit the many falls Hamilton held! When I was accepted into OCHT I took steps into culturing myself to this strange and beautiful city. I started working a patient transfer which lended an aid into learning the ins and outs of all the one way streets in Hamilton. I quickly learned the quickest route between hospitals and nursing homes in the Hamilton and surrounding areas! 

There is not ONE thing that did it for me, it was the diversity of the city! It kept life interesting! 

Hamilton is filled with one way streets, art galleries, bridges, waterfronts, steep embankments, old century homes, museums, theatres, but the one thing that stands out the most has to be the diversity in the beautiful people groups. I grew so much working among the citizens of Hamilton and I miss it every day! 

Stay tuned for my experience with HPS...
