And you thought this blog was going to be entirely about ASUPS? Well, I guess I gave you ample reason to believe that—but fear not! There are plenty (errr…at least a few) other things in my life worth posting on a blog for the entire world to read about. Such as Kids Can Do!
Look how safe I am, two hands on the wheel...
I’ve been a part of Kids Can Do since the beginning of this year, and it has been one of the more rewarding experiences I’ve had at Puget Sound. It is a mentoring program sponsored by CIAC (Community Involvement & Action Center) that pairs current students with kids around the greater Tacoma area. Basically, I get to hang out with this awesome 8-year-old (his birthday was two months ago, and I may or may not have attended his party) once a week.
I guess he was hungry.
While there are some deep conversations and life-changing moments for both of us, it usually is just us spending a few hours each weekend finding fun activities to do. Almost every time I walk away with new energy and optimism—which is good, since I usually have to spend the rest of the day doing homework.
Hide and Go Seek, anyone?
Anyways, since you’re probably tired of reading about it, how about some visuals? I can honestly say that I didn’t take any of these–they were all courtesy of an 8-year-old with an incredible knack for capturing truly-scintillating moments (such as the one below of Brendan Witt, for some reason looking away from the field).
His first Lacrosse game!
(I’m not going to post his name and/or any pictures of him, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy photos that he took!)
No clue what this was...
(Hope you enjoyed this week’s post!)
Until next time,
Marcus
