I really am. I'm terrified about my volunteer work. I took the muni to a part of San Francisco that's not that great and walked a couple of blocks to what I thought would be the agency. I was expecting a store-like building. Bright, welcoming. In its place was a large, shadowy home. This can't be right. I called them and asked where they were located. I was in the right place.
It turns out that this place is a group home for troubled girls. I'll be volunteering at a group home. Not a facility where girls can come in when they need help--they live here. There were 7 girls who were...less than welcoming...but the staff was pretty cool and very nice.
I'm scared, but I want to do this. I have to do this. There's something in me that wants to run away and stay all at the same time. They want me to come in next week and have dinner with everyone. I'm going, and I'm terrified. I'm afraid they won't like me, and I already feel that they don't.
Pray for me please. Pray for me just this semestre. Thanks.
Love, Elaine
