T.A.L.C. New Vision supports small local high schools in milwaukee that are similar to walden in philosophy. i feel that my school experience there made up a large part of who i am; essentially, i'd like to pass along that experience to a new generation of students.
Y.M.C.A. One-on-One Mentorship sounded like a good opportunity; i've never mentored anyone per se, but i feel i've impacted a lot of lives, both positively and negatively. i would like to channel that intentionally for a change rather than haphazardly tossing my "influence" around like scattering seed.
these are the organizations i chose and would be flattered to be chosen by any at all; there's so much to learn and somany experiences to be had and i can hardly wait.
i do need to work on my punctuality though; it's so easy to be distracted by everything that's been going on in my life that it can be difficult to concentrate. this is such an opportunity and i don't want to mess it up for myself because i can't handle the most basic of personal responsibilities.
i am also turning into my mother.
