Wednesday, May 13 my alarm goes off. I turn over, 8:00. Usually this would be the part where I turn back over and wait out my other 3 alarms but not today! I yawn, stretch and start my morning routine. The first day of S.I.S. is underway!
Day one of Summer in Service I had no idea what to expect except I would be around my teammates who were in the same boat as I was. Turns out the day was a complete success! It was an all around great day. We laughed, joked, listened to music, bonded, met an awesome employee, Mr. B, who said we were tied for first with Wells Fargo as his favorite group he's worked with, and on top of all that we helped so many people along the way.
Not having much experience in volunteering I can look back to this day as one of my first impressions of giving back and serving others in need, and truly feel the purpose of our service.
