  • Endings and beginnings

    Today, January 7, 2011 marked the final day of my Body World volunteer. It was quite an experience that enabled me to learn new things about myself. The past 3 and so months, I've experienced confidence, self doubt, and self reassurance. Who would have thought? Not only that, it also gave me an opportunity to be comfortable with myself to the extent that I felt as though I was living another person's life during those 3 hours/week evening shifts. Although, I may have complained, I actually thoroughly enjoyed the newness of it, not only did I feel responsible, I also felt productive and somewhat mature. It was quite a pleasure getting acquainted to new people, as well as having a small authority over them. Although the title of this post is a bit misleading, I supposed. To be exact nothing has really begun. But hey, it's only January after all, right?

    I will sure miss seeing a roomful of adults being very competitive and amused from child themed/oriented equipment, that someone, if they desired to do so, can actually build a sport around it.
