Today i did my first official day of community service...or volunteer work which ever you'd like to call it. Really waking up anytime in the a.m. is a struggle for me but i was able to crawl out of bed and make myself go down there today. I was helping out at Hosea Williams Feed The Hungry. They are best known for their thanx gvn dinners for the homeless and their christmas dinners. I signed in at 10:08 and went to the warehouse and was told to break down boxes (flatten them so they could be recycled) Being down there i got to mingle with people i normally wouldn't, i was working with an older guy named Eugene other than a couple missing teeth he seemed like a average guy, until he mentioned he had 13 felonies...not to worry he was only convicted of 2. Being down there def gave me a different perspective on things just a bit. Seeing ppl waiting in line for food boxes and putting them in their shopping carts and rolling up the street and on with their lives. It makes you appreciate the opportunities you have.
worst part of the day: Apparently they have a fridge that cuts off and stays off when the power goes out...so over the weekend the power went out and the food was left to spoil for 4 days. The smell was...dreadful. The food turned to sploosh ...for lack of a better term. I could still smell that stuff when i went to lunch with my mom... p u.lol
