Today, Emily Brzezinski and I went down to Escuela Vieau to volunteer, but we found out that there was no after school program today. Instead, a Mother’s Day celebration was scheduled for earlier this morning. I was very disappointed that I would not be able to work with the children on their Mother’s Day projects, but I will hopefully be able to finish my hours next week sometime between classes and final exams. Instead of getting back on the bus right away, Emily and I talked to the woman at the Boys & Girls Club table for a short time before walking around the neighborhood. The colorful houses and friendly faces in the surrounding community always put a smile on my face, and since the sun was shining, it made the walk to the bus stop even more enjoyable. We looked around to see where the Walker’s Point signs led and proceeded to walk down W. National Ave. to S. 1st Street. There are numerous individually owned taverns and restaurants on National Ave., which is refreshing to see instead of all of the chain stores and fast food syndicates, which typically make up city streets. I have a newfound appreciation for the community surrounding Escuela Vieau and its school community.
