Accidents Happen. -Final SBS Reflection
By: Phyllis Elizabeth Holloway
How I feel about the semester drawing to a close.
How I feel when I think that also means I won't get
to see the kids at Step By Step for over a month.
At our last night at Step By Step, one of our kids had an accident. This was our first accident all semester and we handled it very well. Sometimes, accidents happen; however, my time at Step By Step was no accident. My life has been forever changed because of my time at Step By Step. This video includes some of my favorite moments from my time at Step By Step.
As you can see from some of my posts from this semester, one of the biggest problems during our time volunteering is making sure each kid got equal attention from all of the volunteers. At first we were a bit rocky on this part, but eventually we had it down pat. We still had one precious girl that loved the spotlight, but that simply made our time a little bit brighter. This semester at Step By Step has been an absolute blessing. I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting the ladies I have been volunteering with and the children we have been playing with. I am sad that my time at Step By Step is over for this year, but I do know that I will be returning in the coming semesters during my time here in Lexington. Not only do I have to thank Step By Step for this experience, but a big thanks to CIS112 for allowing the class go out into this big, scary world and change it. This has been a fantastic semester. Godspeed.
