Call to Action Day, October 11

Call to Action Day was a very important day. It helped me learn about the value of service. The day we spent at the Marine Biology Institute was a very educational one. I learned some things I didn't know before and even did some things I never did before. Before this trip I didn't know much about the wildlife in the Bay, but know I do. This really shows how even as a young adult I still have so much to learn. The children also benefited from this day. You can tell they had a lot of fun learning new things about the area. It would be fun to work with that place again. I had a lot of fun and the kids did too. Its really cool how both adults and kids were learning new things at the same time. This second activity (which is the main on with the kids) with them was way better than the first (when the lady came to speak) and like I said it would be fun to do this again. I myself am not a huge fan of kids but I really did enjoy this experience. It was very different than what i expected to happen. The kids were great and lovely. All of them their own personalities and so much individuality at such a young age. I don't even remember how I was like in 5th grade. It feels like such a long time ago and it was great to see how these kids did things and how much they enjoyed learning.
