The COOOLLLLDD!
I am so cold. Currently, it is 20 below, and I am freezing. Oh yeah, I'm in Chicago. However, my mind wanders to the millions of people without a coat, hat, or gloves. Some people do not have a suitable place to lay their head. This breaks my heart. Sometimes, I complain about the smoldering heat in my apartment. However, there are people who desperately need heat. You know what, I should not complain about the weather. Yes, it's cold, but at least I have a place of refuge. I should think about others, and count my blessings. I have to remind myself to do that, because I find myself wallowing in my own self pity.
Joy for YP4
Howdy,
My name is Ashley Cureton. I am from DePaul University in Chicago, IL. I am a third year student, and an Anthropology major, with a minor in Coummunity Service Studies and Social Justice/Peace Resolution studies. Okay, so that is the basic information. Furthermore, I am so excited about the Young People For program. Prior to this visit, I was unsure about the program, but I am well informed about its missions. I am ready to implement the blueprint unto my campus. Thank you for this experience. Have fun!
