I can not believe that we have already been through three blocks in the program. I have learned so many different things in such a short time. A lot of this success is due to my classmates who have helped me along the way. They explain things to me that I don't understand at first, and they teach me interesting ways to study. For example, I didn't realize that writing on a white board with different colors would stick the information in your mind so good. I have also learned in this program how to study. I feel like that is a big part of being successful in these classes. Once I was able to find my way of studying the information, it did not seem as overwhelming.
Nola life is seeming to grow on me a little more. My classmates and I are getting closer as friends which makes the weekends fun, and a good study break. We also formed intermural teams in basketball and volleyball. Our first basketball game went really good, because we beat this team by 50 points! This is a good way to spend time with good people and relieve stress.
For my service hours I have gotten to do a lot of different things. I have been volunteering at KIPP middle school for the past month. For the most part it is interesting to be in a school setting. The only thing that I wish we would do is hang out with the kids more. Most of the things we do is cutting paper dollars, or moving desks. I also spent a Saturday with the Habitat for Humanity which was very fun. Most of the day we moved couches for people and other furniture. This was really nice because we were not out in the sun. The people I volunteered with made the day that much better. These coming months I plan to work at the Children's Hospital in whatever area is need. I feel like this will be a great experience.
