Second week at Girls Hope

I started my second week working with Girls Hope and defintietly am starting to get a better understanding of the kids and adults living in the home. The girls all remembered me and were excited to see me back. I worked closely with a different 5th grader from last week and my experience with her was great. I felt like I was actually helping. Before working at Girls Hope I was nervous about how the girls were going to accept me as a stranger coming into their home and lives. I was able to express this with one of the "house moms" and she had some great insight on it. She felt the same way and has been able to obseve that the children have developed an attitude of accepting change and moving forward. With so many people in and out of their lives, they live by this in positive and negative ways. After spending more time with these children I have come to notice how hard it may be for some of the workers to leave after their expected time is up.
