I thank God for granting me this opportunity, there are many places I've been that I don't think I would ever imagine going. And then there are those other places that I have yet to go visit.
Sunday:
I walked to church in the pouring rain! I was with a big group of girls, from both the ASP and WJC program. We had our umbrellas, coats and boats. I was missing my gloves and I needed them so much because it was so cold. This was the first time I felt the major change of weather, from Calif. to D.C.
The church we went to was called the National Community Church. The church was several sites and the one we went to was located under a coffee joint. The pastor and his message was recorded and projected onto a screen, which was new to me. But it was a good experience overall.
After the service I did not want to go out. It was cold and rainy. But my group had to finish our scavenger hunt. So we had to go to the Senate Building and look for Dianne Feinstein's office door building. But since it was a weekend, the office was cold.
Monday: We had our first official class. We discussed memo's from the New York Times and their techniques to better their readership and their profession. After that, we played a game that dealt with culture. It was to prepare us for our service projects.
And after, we wen't on a monument tour. We went to go see the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial and the Jefferson Memorial, but we also passed by the Washington Memorial.
Here's some pics:
And then today we left to do some volunteering. I went to Cornerstone Christian elementary school-middle school (pre k - 8th). I didn't have any interaction with sutdents, which I really wanted. I just installed Microsoft office on some computers and inputed books into a website.
See you later everyone...
love.
