It is one week until I start my Freshman Year of college. And as part of the Freshman Experiance bit, I have to do a service project with one of my classes. Fantasic right? Okay. I'm majoring in English and Secondary Ed. so the Freshman critical thinking course I choose is about Education (called "If Education is Broke") and so our service project is going to a K-12 Special Eduction school. I have no idea what we're going to do there, but I looked it up on the internet and it's for mentally challenged children with social issues and what not, but it's also for kids from low income families AND kids with depression, self injury and anxiety issues. I am finding that highly ironic. It's also freaking me out a little. Like it might hit a little to close to home. I don't know... I just think it might be hard. I mean, it might be great 'cause I can actually relate to some of these people but it's also like... I don't know. Any advice here? Do I be myself and painfully honest, show scars, etc.? Or... not?
