When I heard about doing community service in Sociology. I was very happy to dedicate my time for older or younger people to help them out and make them happy. I was thinking about to going to GIVE. I sign up and I started to join sunrise every Wednesday. My thinking about sunrise nursing home was like how was it? How does people behave? What kind of people live there? How they talk and thinking about us to going there? When I went there, I can not believe that everything was such a beautiful place to be and like when we entered everything smells like fresh and the residents are in side in hallway and waiting for us to help them out and talk with them. I pull my chair and sit with to older women Jeni and Mary. They both were nice to me and they take out cards and tell me to play with them. Me and my other friend play card with them. We were playing Ramie. I never played that before but it was such a good game. I won some games and some I lost. But it was very fun to play with them. After played for a while, the residents have their dinner so we help them out for dinner and we talk to individual person like I met another lady maria she is one of the best there. She was very nice, good speech, talk about her life and she asked me some questions too. While playing and talking with them time just went so fast. We have to go back to school but this was my great day to be there with them and try to know each other well. Same thing with next week we went there the Jeni and Mary was waiting for me and we played cards again and I talk to her about how they are here? Do they like it or not etc. Also, we made baby bugs that days and it was fun to make those. I made for Jeni and Mary both of them and they were so happy to put that in their room. Also, we went to the other room their people are disabled and little bit mental like they have problem of speaking or physical problem and mental problem. I help them out and I sit with them and talk about what they are doing and what is going on here? What they like and not like? Some lady does not what date that was and what month are we in? Sometimes when I look at them I feel very bad for those who do not know what is going outside. This is going forever for me. I went another week and again we did the same thing except we made some flowers for people and give to them to put that in their room. I meet again new people, I could not remember the name but they so nice to me and talking to me about who am I? Where do I go to school and that stuff. This was my best experience with people in sunrise. I love them and it was one of the best thing ever I did for others. I like to be around there and great time with residents.
One time I went to cherished children. It was nice place to be. There is lot of kids there are like around 5 to 10. They are so nice to each other and I played with those kids outside in playground it was fun time with them. I remember my old days like when I was child and playing with others. Some kids parents came to visit there. I love to play around with kids and they are like very innocent and my time just went through with them. I played with guy Mike he was seven and I try to ask him that what he is doing here and what is going on with him. We played like I run and he try to catch me and sometimes I run and catch him. It was fun time with him. Few minutes after he was not talking to me and throwing stuff at me because I was about to leave from there and he does not like that. But it was great time with those kids are playing around. I love this class and community service. It make us to help others and try to know others well.
