Hello again my faithful readers. This is the first week I can actually reflect on service that I've done! I was home in Indianapolis this past week for spring break and I knocked out a good chunk of the community service for the class. I actually did more hours than I had initially planned, but that's definitely a good thing considering how late I got started. The service didn't take that much out of my break either. I learned how to utilize my time very efficiently. I did most of the service beginning in the late morning so that I was free for the rest of the day. A couple of my friends came and helped me on some of the days and that made it much easier. The place I volunteered was at the Harrison retirement community. It is essentially a hotel-like community for old people. Now I can't say that I had many fun jobs, but I still had an overall enjoyable experience. For a few of the hours I picked up trash along the perimeter of the building. Now some of you might be cringe at the thought of this, but fear not! Since it was a retirement community, I asked of they had one of those grabby things you see on tv, you know for old people reaching around places. Turns out they did and I got to use one of those. The Harrison also had activities that I helped out with by passing out drinks or cookies or just by being an extra set of hands. I also had to take out trash and move around boxes of stuff. Another job I had was stocking shelves of said stuff. It was a lot of work but like I said it was made easier by my friends. I still don't necessarily care for old people, but at least I did my part to help them. Most of them were very nice too. All in all, it was a success, and I'm glad I have a good chunk of service behind me.
