3rd summer at Our House
Education: Sophomore,
UALR Fayetteville
Career Goal: to be a member
of a non-profit that specifically
works with the homeless
Some of my most prized memories
come from the unique lessons I
learn from one-on-one time with
the kids. It’s very humbling to
interact with children who
appreciate the small things that
life has to offer.
Education: Anthropology,
Florida State University
Education Goal: to earn MSW
My favorite memories center
around the kids discovering what
they themselves can grow in a
limited space. Many kids came
here without understanding how
root vegetables grow & how some
can be sweet-tasting & used for
juicing. I saw them become aware
of the different types of vegetables
& their multiple uses.

The memories that stick out in
my mind the most are all of the
hugs that I received every day
from all of the kids.
Watching residents rehearse for a
play was a magical experience.
They had begun to memorize some
of their lines, & they were demonstrating how hard they had worked
to learn their lines & come up with
movements & actions on their own.
