I went to go see my grandma today. I hate the place.. I dont like it for her at least, it seems too dirty and there is no color anywhere whatsoever. the halls are long and the floors are stained. Even though she is barely conscious, I still think she deserves better. I bought her white roses and pink balloons, but she didnt recognize me. and i held the crying in. it was so hard. I met a very nice old lady named Sophia. She told me not to get raped. I dont know. So I came home and I couldnt stop thinking about how sad it is in that place. and how I want to help, I have volunteered at a home before but that was back in highschool. So I came online and applied to this program called AmeriCorp.. the application was hella long and I think I blew it but hopefully all goes well. Basically, you get to choose whatever kind of community service you want to do. I asked them to put me either with elderly or tutoring children. I need to do 10 hours a week if im accepted. but at the end of the program they give me a stipend of 3000+. Hopefully I make it, wish me luck. Ill find out in about 2-3 weeks.
