And you thought this blog was going to be entirely about ASUPS? Well, I guess I gave you ample reason to believe that\u2014but fear not! There are plenty (errr\u2026at 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!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Look how safe I am, two hands on the wheel...<\/p><\/div>\n

I\u2019ve been a part of Kids Can Do since the beginning of this year, and it has been one of the more rewarding experiences I\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I guess he was hungry.<\/p><\/div>\n

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\u2014which is good, since I usually have to spend the rest of the day doing homework.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Hide and Go Seek, anyone?<\/p><\/div>\n

Anyways, since you\u2019re 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).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

His first Lacrosse game!<\/p><\/div>\n

(I\u2019m not going to post his name and\/or any pictures of him, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t enjoy photos that he took!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

No clue what this was...<\/p><\/div>\n

(Hope you enjoyed this week’s post!)<\/p>\n
