Our House e-newsletter August & September 2013 | Page 39

I had the opportunity to work with children who need love and attention, and that was the most important part of my job. I really love coming to Our House, with all the energy in the room. I never dreamed that highlights of my day would be getting a 3-year-old to use the “big girl potty” or finally getting 5 words out of a moody teen. I watched as a 40-year-old mom graduated high school & how that changed the way her children felt about education. Our House & the people there become part of you. No matter if you volunteer a few times or an entire summer, it‟s a guarantee that your perspective will be influenced for the better. “ ”
