The "Others"

Walking back to the dorm after my last class of the day, I noticed about fifteen three foot people running around the lawn, chasing after each other and squealing.  I never realized how rarely I see little kids around campus until I saw the cluster of them today.  It’s almost weird to see people other than the typical college students, professors…and well, the occasional “townies” roaming around grounds.  This struck me; maybe I need to get out of the college bubble a little more than I have been.  It’d be nice to see more of a community, rather than just a college campus once in a while. 

Like a calling to my recent epiphany, I received an email about a volunteer opportunity through Hoos Ready this Friday.  At Venable Elementary School, children will be taught about safety through fun and interactive events, and what a better way to jump out of the college bubble and meet some “others”.  Here’s the link to sign up: http://doodle.com/participation.html?pollId=6wpazpfb9vhp5c5w
