“A day ON, not a day OFF” MLK day part II


For MLK day, my team volunteered at a children’s shelter. We split into 3 groups and worked on cleaning out a trailer, organizing the attic, and taking wallpaper down in one of the bathrooms. I was in the latter group, scoring the wallpaper and using a steamer to help pull down the old pieces and get the room ready to be painted. My specific job was to get the higher-up pieces, since I was the tallest one in there at the time. Cindy, the lady in charge of the shelter, also had me doing some random jobs because of my height, like changing out light bulbs. Glad I could be so helpful based on my height haha. The following couple of days of transition in Vicksburg were used for van cleaning, packing, and saying goodbye to friends from other teams for yet another SPIKE.

  1. Yes, height comes in very handy. Way to put it to use.
