Yesterday I did my final 2 hours of volunteering. I got there a little bit earlier and it was interesting to watch the staff prep for the kids to arrive. 2 of the high school students were already there so I talked with them a little bit about why they were there so early and other things. When the younger kids showed up they immediately had to go to the gym and once again, like the last time I visited, they were reprimanded over something they had done in the new game room. I decided not to go into the gym this time and just watched from the doorway and it was interesting to see how the kids reacted to what they were being told. Most of the kids opted to go outside after that and I decided to stay inside with the few who stayed in since it was chilly out.
During the 2nd hour, I stayed inside and talked to the high school kids about college. They were curious about Belmont and what was required and what the classes are like. They were really interested in hearing about college, which I guess shouldn't surprise me, but it was good to see that they were so determined to go to college and pursue a higher education than just high school. After that, since no one had homework, we just sat around and watched TV.
