Service Learning Project 2

Most of my time spent at the YWCA was spent interacting with the kids. One girl in particular made an impression on me. Joselyn latched onto me the first day I was there. She quickly recruited me to color and draw with her because she didn't want to play with the younger children. After sitting with her for maybe 15 or 20 minutes and talking about some things we like or had in common, she drew me a picture that said "Megan is Awesome" and she wrote "bffs" on there with hearts and smiley faces. It was obvious that she didn't get a lot of attention. I learned that she had a younger sister that was there also. Her sister was very outgoing and rambunctious, the opposite of Joselyn. I think the reason she latched on to me so quickly was because her sister stole the spotlight most of the time and she didn't get much attention. Interacting with all the other kids gave me the same impression. They really latched onto all of us that went there and it really seemed like they didn't get that kind of attention very often.
