Senior Project Blog #8


Date of Service: May 6, 2011     Time Spent: 3 hours  Total Time: 24 hours

Action: Hand out snacks, watch over children as they play, stay a few extra minutes afterward for the children who weren't able to be picked up on time.

Next action (what & when): I plan to spend more time trying to meet the children I haven't exactly gotten to know.

How am I doing? Today felt like a normal day. Kyle, this third grader, got into trouble because he said the "f-word". To my surprise, it's not the first time I've heard these children cuss. It surprises me how often they do it, and how many words they are aware of. I don't think I was aware of these words when I was around their age. Regardless, it was still a fun day.
    This very tiny girl, by the name of Rosaline, as well as Kyle, were not able to be picked up on the time they needed to be. So another volunteer and I waited for their parents as they came. Rosaline grew bored, so she stood on my feet. I then began walking with her on my feet, it was really amusing. Kyle and I then engaged in a conversation about video games. I think he's fun.
