Weekly Quote“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say it’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem, then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.” — Fred Rogers So... what have I done?Hello guys and welcome to week nine! As you can tell from the title I am wanting to do something with a food pantry. The one I have found is called Sunnyside Ministry in Winston. First thing I have to do is call them to see if they offer volunteer times after school hours, and as far as the person of the week goes, I already have someone in mind. Person of the Week![]() This is Gage Jackson. He is a Sophmore at DCHS. He is also in Mr. Barkers class. Go check out his Genius Hour: Gage's 12-Week Gym Progression Unfortunately Sunnyside Ministries is only available on Christmas Eve 4:30pm- 6pm. That lead me on a search for a different place. I found Yadkin Christian Ministries, and I gave them a call. The woman I talked to was extremely helpful and nice unlike another place I called today. We discussed us coming this Saturday in East Bend NC 10am-Noon. I let Makenzie know the time so she can check with her parents. Update: Turns out she is unable to come, and I will need to find a replacement. Nobody informed me on how far Yadkinville is away from Mocksville. It was a very long 40 minute drive. The place my GPS took us to was a tattoo shop so I began to get a little worried. Eventually we found the place which was just down the road. I was big time worried because I didn't know much about Yadkinville in general let alone the specific part we were in. I was also not with my mother so she couldn't protect me from anything that could possibly happen. I quickly realized that I had to suck it up and continue with I came here for. Luckily the people there turned out to be nice after a couple of minutes of settling in. Reflection
Upcoming Goals... 1) Week 10
