Today was a service project that included my class (11 kids- 3 boys, 8 girls) and the 8th graders (7 kids- 2 boys, 5 girls) and we worked from 9 to 12 at a place called Chelsea House, which is a Christian ministry dedicated to helping homeless women get back on their feet. I was assigned to outdoors pulling weeds from their garden and working outside. That included all the boys from both grades and a girl from my class and a girl from the other. The girls had their side and the boys had theirs. We finished with our side and went over to help the boys because they had a bigger section than we did and most of them were making up raps that didn't even make sense. I can usually tell when someone is in a bad mood, and Daniel, a boy from my class, was in one. I asked him and he said it was kind of frustrating when only certain people were doing their job right and others are lollygagging. I said, "That's why you work your very hardest." That was my wise quote for the day.
