Finding Time for Service

As the semester comes to close I am finding it harder and harder to squeeze everything in.  As I struggle to complete papers, work, do the laundry, and fight traffic on the 101, the hours in the day seem to be diminishing rapidly.  As my to do list continues to grow I find myself looking forward to my work at CAM.  There is an instant gratification in service learning, in working with someone to make their life different, that I struggle to locate in my daily job. I hope that you all are reminded by your work also that Service Learning is a reciprocal relationship.  More importantly that we are working towards something bigger than exit exams at County Community, homework assignment at Canal alliance, or the reception desk at MAP - these tasks are simply stepping stones towards making some one else's future better so that they we may all be in a position to make our community better.
