fun day!

i'm trying to get more involved on campus. i don't want to be just an athlete here at trinity. today i stepped out of that box and participated with the boys and girls club. it's an organization that's run all over the nation. it's a place where kids can go when they aren't in school that keeps them off the streets and out of trouble. today there was a three hour fair. it was definitely a lot of fun. i painted faces. i'm not the best artist in the world but i think i managed and i think the kids had fun with it. i'm definitely looking forward to continuing to be part of this group. hopefully i can get involved in some other ways as well. it's nice to really integrate yourself in the community around you. the kids at trinity lead very luxurious lives while the people of hartford definitely don't. giving back really feels good.

It's great when you can give something of yourself and it's also wonderful when you can see things how they really are. As you were saying about the difference between the people at your college and the people of the city. Good for you.
