i made it!

Well today was my interview at bethany. I actually made it there this time, and it was easier and closer then i thought. The agency is too cool. I love being in that environment. Everyone was really friendly, and the building was a lot bigger than the old one that was in fort washington. The lady i met with was really nice and actually seemed really interested in me. She asked me about school, my spiritual life, what i want to do, and about the china trip. Since they dont accept undergraduate interns, and the only undergrad internships they really offer is pregnancy counseling, i am on a volunteer basis. and thats totally fine with me. Its mostly administrative things, putting packets together, copying, filing..all that fun stuff. That is what i expected. I told her that's fine and i am willing to do anything, i just wanted to give back to the place that gave us so much. (she really liked when i said that) She said let her know when i can start. Its pretty exciting

As i was driving there i kept getting really excited about life. i am just so passionate about what i am doing and learning. i have a couple more years of school left but i cant wait for it to be over so i can actually start working and do it! Its hard to have this feeling and still be in school. I want to volunteer my time and give to people and help people and do outreaches in philly with my school, but right now my life is my school. I cant fulfill any of the dreams i have for myself if i dont succeed in school. I guess thts why i feel so good about just volunteering once a week for a couple of hours. It temporarily satisfies my soul for the passion i have for helping others. It will have to do for now.
