Not Bad at All...
I've got to be honest, I was really not looking forward to my Serivce Learning Project. The whole premise was that we had to go to an oraganization in the community that deals with people living in poverty and we have to interview them. The organization that my partner and I got assigned to is very much religiously based...and there isn't anything wrong with that, they can be as religious as they want. It was just a little to preachy for my blood...and they were way unorganized. We've been trying to set up a time to go out there for over a month, and this was the first time that we were able to successfully interview someone.
The woman that we're interviewing is so sweet. I already adore her, after just spending like half an hour with her. She's 69 years old and has been married to the same man for 51 years. She's worked several odd jobs, but always kept her family in mind first and foremost. Her husband has been having kidney problems and when this first started happening 6 years ago, she retired and stayed at home taking care of all of his medical treatment, until it got too much for her...he's in the hospital now, and sadly it's not looking good.
I've got to say, that's the kind of relationship I want. I want to be with one person my whole life, and I want to have the love that these two obviously share. It's so sweet and heartbreaking at the same time. I can't wait to interview her again next Tuesday.
Anyways, that's about it. I've got to study, study, study here in a bit for religions of the world...then relax and maybe work on a card. Oh! On a light and fluffy note I read "If We Kiss..." last night by Rachel Vail, and I've got to say it is so cute! If you love chick-lit then check it out.
