a best friend

This week has really been a learning experience for me. I truly found out who my true friends are. I know who to talk to, and who worries about me. Best friends is such a foreign concept. I’m amazed.

Interact

Interact is a club that I’m truly interested in helping.

The main goal of the club is to do community service. That’s the main attraction to it’s members. However Interact actually makes money by offering their services to help organizations. The members who help out don’t get money, instead the money kept in a reserve. On average there’s 10-20 events total. The money raised throughout is then sent to a foreign nation to help build schools, bathrooms, and other necessities. That’s the usual plan with events.

Things were different today. Today was the annual Warm Spring Tree Lighting event. Basically bands, dancers, and singers were featured to play. Each organization did it voluntarily but they received a nice check for their work. Interact was in charge of setting up and breaking down the event. On average each person worked 6 hours. Some even more. We usually get money, but this we really didn’t directly. I watched so many people work their butts off to make this even possible. They were selling food, raffles and passing out info cards, all for the idea that they were helping their community. I’m truly inspired by all the effort people put in. I also spent 6 hours today working and helping out, but this is one of my first long events. I’m absolutely in awe how much effort some people put into these things.
