I was born in Omaha but now I live in Bellevue with my dad and stepmom.<\/p>\n<p>I joined Project Search because I want to be able to get a job helping people. My first Project SEARCH job is in Family Medicine as a clerical assistant. I like this job because the people are friendly. They have been extremely nice. Sometimes work is hard because I have Asperger&#8217;s so I have a hard time paying attention.<\/p>\n<p>My whole life I wanted to help people, mostly kids. I want to open a kid&#8217;s club for kids and teens to go after school. Outside of work, I am getting my GED and I hope to get into the Police Academy. I also play flag football and a little guitar. My love for mystery comes from reading, which I enjoy along with videos games and watching crime dramas like <em>CSI<\/em>, <em>Law and Order<\/em>, etc.<\/p>\n<p>After my mom died I decided to turn my life around and make myself better. My life does not have an unknown future but a hopeful one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.unmc.edu\/familymedicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2016\/09\/Matt-e1475263122431.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-709\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.unmc.edu\/familymedicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2016\/09\/Matt-300x276.jpg\" alt=\"matt\" width=\"300\" height=\"276\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Family Medicine welcomes Matt Mulligan, a student intern with Project SEARCH.
