Video Reflection

The longer I work at Step by Step, the more impressed I am by the organization. It has done a wonderful job of allowing teen mothers to connect, and the children I have worked with have a great time. Four weeks ago, one of the girls I was helping watch took it upon herself to restyle my hair into quite a tangled mess.
Jamaria ties my hair in knots

Some of the others learned hangman for the first time, while still others colored beautiful pictures and told me about their days.
Maia draws pictures as well as coloring them.
All of the girls and boys there had energy and enjoyed all the extra attention that was showered upon them.

The video describes my experience the past couple of times volunteering. Even though I have technically met my requirement for service hours, I will continue to go back for this semester. The kids notice when someone doesn't show up, and it's important to them that we aren't just coming for a grade, but because we care.

    This organization sounds very cool! What exactly is your "job description"? Do you simply play with the kids, or is there some kind of curriculum that you follow to educate the kids in some fashion?

    We were given a very little bit of a lesson to teach - a craft on being thankful, but it only occupied about ten minutes of time. Most of the 2 and a half hour session was spent simply playing!
