I finally got a service-learning placement. My placement took longer than others for a couple reasons, but finally, I'm placed somewhere, and I can't wait to start. Janice McMillan, the Service Learning Coordinator, was extremely patient and helpful throughout the whole process. We met together yesterday morning and talked for more than an hour about different options. She made a few phone calls, and she found a perfect one for me. :) Janice gave me a brief description of what I'll be doing with the organization, but I'll learn more after I meet with my supervisor next week. I'm placed with Grandmothers Against Poverty and AIDS (GAPA), and though I don't know exactly what I'll be doing yet, Janice did say that I'll be getting to go to these communities and listening to these grandmothers' stories--and you know how much I love hearing and actively engaging in others' stories.
