Reflections+for+Oct.+9th

I have served four hours of community service on Wednesday, October 5th, and four more hours on Friday, October 7th. Totalling eight hours of community service with the medina county courts system.
 * Description:**

On wednesday, a group of us went around clearing trash and weeds around the medina county prison. We then went to Reagan Park, and started cleaning trash around there. The first hour seemed to last forever, especially because the sun was out and had a direct view with where i was working, with three shirts on. After moving to a spot with shade, we quickly finished pulling weeds, and left for Reagan park. The last two hours cleaning trash there seemed to blow by quickly. the sun was setting, it was cooler, and there were a lot of different animals running around all over the place.
 * Specific Duties and Observations:**

On Friday, we went to the medina county home, and I had played Scrabble, Yahtzee, Aggravation, and Wii with the people there. I had gotten along with the people in the home, and had learned that the elderly are a lot more "alive" than previously assumed. The time went by incredibly slow the whole time, and I struggled to hold in the dozens of yawns that eventually found their way out. Every time I looked over at the clock, it seemed as though the hands had moved barely an inch.

I had learned from the people there that people have it a lot worse than me (Dementia, Alzheimers, etc...), and I plan to donate to, and continue volounteering there even after this project is over with, hopefully I would be able to volounteer there for less than four hours at a time.
