Finally, midterms are coming to end and our stress is abating. Room is starting find its way in our schedules. With this extra time we have to spend, the Madison House would be a great place to spend it. Elizabeth Bass visited our class Wednesday and gave us insight into the mission of the Madison House. As I was scanning their website, I noticed an array of activities one can get involved with. Some of the programs involve tutoring, mentoring, adopting a grandparent, taking care of animals and improving the environment. What I find exceptional about the Madison House is that it offers a program for everyone's interest. I haven't volunteered for Madison House yet, but I plan on joining shortly. This summer I visited my grandma in her retirement home and I met so many senior citizens. They were all pleasure to interact with, but I could sense that they do not receive attention in profuse amounts. A lot of the seniors are lonely and just need someone to brighten up their day. Adopting a grandparent through the Madison House would be a great way to give back to some of the forgotten people in today's world. So, with the extra time on your hands, now that midterms are ending, give your time to senior citizens or some of the other populations that the Madison House aims to reach.
