Our sophomore class helped volunteer at Ferguson Park. While we were there we helped pick up trash, shovel, rake, etc. I personally went around picking up trash. We walked a lot while we were there and it was on a really hot day as well. We tried keeping our minds off of the fact we were hot and sweaty and try to focus on that we were doing a good thing. At the end of the day I felt really tired but really good at the same time because I helped people out at the park that day. My favorite part was at the end when we all got water and played on the playground for the rest of the time and then going back to the school.

My group went and volunteered at Terrace Ridge Living Center. When I went to Terrace Ridge, the people there was so sweet and loving. My favorite part was just going around helping and seeing the look on their faces when you did something for the people. Like for example, the first day there, I painted this woman’s nails and she was so happy. I felt better after I volunteered because I working and helping them out. I would recommend others visiting the living center because there are so many people that may not have family and just need someone to talk to.

The half of the class that went to the Lake to put together cankerworm kits. The other have went and did yard work around the lake. The group I was in went to make cankerworm kits when we got there. Our group helped out so much and we made so many of these kits because not very many people work to do this regularly or even on a daily bases, so giving our time to them as much as we can helps them out a lot. While we were there, our group split up into probably four groups and we worked on separate jobs to make the kit. Each group had one job, so when we formed groups, my group marked and cut cotton strips, some people rolled this black looking felt, some people rolled the cotton strips, and others placed everything in the bags. I had a lot of fun doing the kits and even though we had to roll out the cotton, mark it, and cut it, then do it over and over again.
