Bake and Bond
I was pretty excited for our first NSTP activity. The long drive and traffic changed my mood at some point, but I veered back to happy mode as soon as I got out of the car and stretch my legs. I thought I was late because the kids were already occupied with their own partners but one supervisor gathered me and my classmates to a room and informed us that we were not late but in fact, early. He oriented us a bit and asked us to wait. I occupied myself by doing fabulous fashion poses
They gave us a number and we're supposed to find a kid with the same partner. As soon as I found my lucky pair #14, he said: "yay I found you!" and hugged me. I was surprised and felt all warm and fuzzy inside. I'm gonna like this kid. We became a trio with Shiela, a fellow volunteer, and got grouped with other trios.
I had to bid farewell a little early because of curfew. My kid hugged me goodbye and thanked me. I said something to him that will remain between us... I hope it would mean something to him as it did to me. It feels good having time to volunteer again. I'm looking forward for the next activities to come.
