Well, I survived. After five days of orientation activities,
I was ready for school to start. But there were a couple special events
sprinkled among games like Ninja, Cat and Mouse, and Human Knot. One of those
was the service project. My orientation group of four guys and fifteen girls
was assigned to Urban Homeworks, an organization based in North Minneapolis
that purchases foreclosed homes, fixes them up, and rents them back to families
in the area. We got to help with the demolition process. The particular house
we were at needed the chimneys removed, backyard raked for glass, and bathroom
pulled out. It was hard work, and the hot, humid weather certainly didn’t help.
We all survived though, albeit rather dirty.
But at least we got free T-shirts.
