Running Total: 12 Hours
10:00 am- 5:00 pm
Yesterday March 31st I got a nice 7 hours in with my mentor, I went down to the A Better Way office and helped my mentor and her co workers set up for the Easter Event. this event was for some of the organizations clients. I helped decorate the whole entire office, i had to clean up and organize the toys in the office that are there the daily for their clients and just make sure they were neat and tighty for the festivity. Once we finished all the cleaning and decorating we went down stairs to get the food they were going to serve, we brought it upstairs and set it up in there big conference room. All this took two hours from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm. when the event started i got to say hello to a few of the clients but i was mostly busy assisting with serving the food. After the line of people died down i got to sit down and eat lunch with my mentor. when we were finished she asked me to help with the little Easter egg hunt for the kids, we gathered all the kids and brought them to the front while we quickly hid the eggs. After the egg hunt as the event seemed to wind down we handed out some goodie bags to the kids. once the event was over which was around 4:00 pm i spent the last hour just helping /cleaning u and by 5:00 pm i was out the door. its was defiantly tiring but it was a fun and interesting experience. It was a long day full of lots of people but it cool because i got to see my mentors clients and interact with them. being a help in these kind of thing again shows how being a counselor of an organization like this, that your going to have to put on events like this for your clients which is something i never really realized before all of this. Again this was a great experience, my mentor was very pleased with my help yesterday and i have made plans with my mentor to do more hours on work days, I cant wait for that.
