Community service part 2
This time i actually had to do something. First off I had not planned to do what I did. I did this one as favor to a friend. It was tuesday night and my friend from the apartment building came to me asking if i could fill in for a few people who decided to skip out on the free lunch service his hospital provides. Though I was offered money i decided to do it for free and count it as my service. From this i learned that people are a lot more great full for food when its not there all the time. For example if you served a typical student the food we served their would be stuck remarks and complaints flying around like and angry bee hive. But these people seemed so happy that they where being treated well and receiving food at the same time. Also the people who worked there are not the ones i expected. going in i thought that i would find the usually priest and old lady with nothing better to do. Instead i found the guy who decided to do something better in his free time a doctor who does stuff like this every week and a lady who has three children of her own and is a stay at home mom (A full time job if you ask me 24 hr work days). All of these people had other things to do later that day and where still willing to give in time to help others in need. That was something truly shocking to me. Now i cant say i enjoyed all 8 hours of standing there loading trays and washing them but i will say that i feel much better now then i did before and hopefully karma wont forget me.
