When I arrived to the event room for the Day of Service I was extremely nervous with many questions. Would I be with my friends? Would I be outside in the heat all day? I eventually got a club to work with, Circle K with my best friend and I was excited because that was the club we picked a few days prior. Circle K is a volunteer-centered club and for the Day of Service we had the option of making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the homeless, making dog toys for dogs in shelters, sewing blankets and making teddy bears for less fortunate children, or making cards for terminally ill children in hospitals. I wanted to do the cards because I enjoy drawling and I thought who does not like being written to? When we sat down, one of the club members gave out sheets of paper with pictures of the children on them with their age and hobbies. Also we had a few guidelines for the cards: make it simple and fun, and do not direct anything to the future, because we cannot tell a terminally ill child to have a nice Halloween, because they might not make it that long. It was initially difficult to decide what to write, what do you say to someone that is seven or even seventeen and dying? Eventually it became simpler. When we started doing the cards I did not think that they would have much of an impact at all but then I reconsidered, if this little girl is sitting in a hospital bed all day, a card addressed to her in her favorite color, with her favorite princess on the front might just make her day more bearable. We had the information of the ill children’s siblings also. I did not contemplate that the siblings are also suffering; they are afraid they will lose their brother or sister and they are probably getting less attention at home because the parents are probably focusing more so on their sick child. I am really glad I had the service project that I did because it made me very grateful for not only my own health but the health of those around me.
