Service Project

While in San Pedro, we're working on a service project.  We all worked with some elementary aged kids at a day camp during the easter break.  We also walked some dogs at the local humain society.  While everyone has their personal projects, writing children's books and what not, I think I got really lucky with mine.  I met some students who have an interest in dance and they asked if I could mentor them so I've been talking dance and helping some students learn choreography and helping them with their free-styling.  While it's been fun, I've found something out about the mindset of the students.  We set up many meet up times and days and so far I've talked with them at one meeting and danced in one other.  They miss designated meet up times, show up late, leave for a little bit and come back.  There is little importance given to time and meetings.  While it's hard now, it should be easier once school starts and see them everyday.  It'll be fun and the end project we have in mind should be awesome, so look out for that.
