Reflections from "Got Soup"

From my six week experience of volutnteering at the "Got Soup" meal progam I have witnessed the value of apathy, kindness, and generosity, I also realize that in the past I have been caught up in my own life and I have turned a blind eye towards the needs of others. Some special memories I will take away with me is one that I have of a 12 year old girl who was starved for attention, she would stand by me each week and talk to me almost the entire time I served food, her innocent sweet face will allways be with me. Another memory I will take with me is of the disabled and elderly volunteers that I worked along side of,they so inspired me by putting aside there own difficult circumstances and coming and meeting the needs of the homeless.
