For the Invisible

I have been volunteering with a local group for the past couple of months for Survey. While volunteering, I have made some really good friends. I have made friendships with the other volunteers. The organization, For The Invisible, brings food to a lower income hispanic neighborhood 10 minutes from my house.When we go, we play with all of the kids. There are so many of them! They run to us as we arrive and the smiles on their faces are contagious! I have such a passion to help these kids as much as I can. I have made friends with the kids of this community and I have experienced so much joy as a result of helping these kids. I will no doubt continue to go even once this class is over. The community is amazing and the organization is incredible. I am so thankful to be able to volunteer with such an awesome group.

Unemployment

In class, we have been talking about economics. In economics, there are times of success and times of failure. These are called expansions and recessions. During the recessions, jobs are lost, spending is cut and prices rise. Unemployment has personall affected my family in many ways over the course of 10 years. Being without a job can be a very scary place. The mystery of the unknown is undoubtably frightful. The questions constantly circle the air: Can I find a job? How am I going to pay the bills? How will I take care of my family? These questions can take a serious toll on a family. Times are hard and unemployment is scary. But it is these parts in the economy that are unavoidable.
