Post-first day thoughts...

Wow. Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It passed kind of slow, but it wasn't absolutely horrendous. I helped a little girl today and she was adorable! We didn't get her homework done before she had to go back to class, but she asked me if I was going to be there the next day! Sadly, I told her I was only there once a week, but it was nice that she asked. That made me feel all special. It was nice being able to help a couple kids with their homework. It's not necessarily what I was hoping for, but it's something I can get used to.

First day at Whitney!

First day of service learning... Not all that excited. I could be doing other things rather than spending every Wednesday over there, there being Whitney Elementary. For those of you who don't know, I'm required to volunteer somewhere for my English 102 class. I must perform 15 hours of community service. I chose to go to Whitney because I figure it would be easy. I was kind of hoping that I would just be playing with kids, but looks like I'm stuck helping with homework. One good thing about it is all the homework is 6th grade level or lower. If it was any higher, I would probably fail. Hopefully this first day goes fast and easy.
