Scrambled Eggs
This past Sunday, I woke up at the ungodly hour of 5:45 AM and dragged myself down to the Haverfield lobby to volunteer at the New Life United Methodist Church soup kitchen. As much as I abhor waking up any time before noon on most days, this day was a great experience. As we pulled up to the church, I saw people lined up outside waiting to go in to the church. It was seriously freezing that morning; the thought of standing outside for any period of time, let alone sleeping outside was ridiculous to me. Once we got inside, I basically cracked eggs into a large bowl and then cooked scrambled eggs all morning so I don't have any really heartwarming stories but it was really nice to do a service project with my fellow Scholars and I got to know some people in our group that I didn't know before. I guess it was also kind of cool to show people that college students don't just sit around and do nothing with their lives.

I too woke up at this early time and acccompanied the humanities scholars to the New Life United Methodist Church. I worked along with Renee cracking and scrampbling eggs all morning. I didn't get to interact with the people that we served, but I think that the people we helped really appreciated a hot breakfast on such a cold morning. For the rest of the day I felt like a good person and I plan on doing more service related activities even if it means getting up before the crack of dawn.
