Day Number One: 11th Grade Service Project

Today was my first day at the day-care United Cerebral Palsy: Creative Options. As I walked into my assigned class, the smell immediately made me recall my own time as a youth, spending the hours at play with some of my first friends. I looked around, seeing the different activity stations and trying to familiarize myself with the room. The first children were already there when I arrived and there was a customary period of time when the kids looked curiously at the stranger three times their size. Eventually, the ice was broken and I began to form relationships with all the kids by playing, supervising, and helping them with their activities and routines. Hopefully tomorrow will be as successful.
