Riverwalk

Frank, Mom, the dogs and I all went for a walk this afternoon along Pettit Drive(part of the bloomsday course). I used to walk along here several times a week during the summer. It is so beautiful. I really miss it.

V.O.I.C.E.S.

Jeff from V.O.I.C.E.S. visited my Intro to Social Work class this week along with others. He spoke about being the"Invisible man". He says that he is invisible because of he is an African American in a white society. In addition, he is highly educated and is a single father raising two kids. This was his second time visiting us and he is very interesting to listen to. This week he also told us about all the services he has had to use in the community to keep himself and his family alive. For any of you unfamiliar with this organization., V.O.I.C.E.S. is a community based program that focuses on educating people about poverty. They meet monthly and provide a dinner and daycare so people are motivated to attend. For more information on this organization click here.

EWU EAGLES

Well it is the end of the year for me. I have one more final and I am done for the summer. I am happy that I dont have to stress about tests anymore but I think I will miss school during the summer. You can find this eagle on the EWU campus over my Senior Hall. It is even more amazing in person.
