9to5!

So I chose to do my service learning hours for Gender and Communication with 9to5 and I met with them for the first time on Friday the 18th. I was satisfied with the meeting and everything went swell! We covered a few projects that we will be working on together and decided on a scheduled time to meet every week. It has been decided that I will be working with 9to5 every Thursday in the morning. Tomorrow is the first day I will be legitimately working with them and logging hours. I am excited to see what is instore for me and I already have a few ideas for the project we will be working on.

We will be helping to plan all the ins and outs of an event that will be taking place in August. Once it is all set up and August rolls around, even though spring semester will be over, it is my full intention to attend this event and see how everything panned out. It will without a doubt be great time and Im excited to see my ideas and work along with everybody elses flourish and come together as a whole.  My expectations of 9to5 and the work I will be doing with them have been met so far. I have a good grasp on what is expected of me and what the work I will be doing entails, which was a big expectation of mine because I do not want to be working blindly. Second, I got to meet a couple of the other students and 9to5 staff that will be coming together to complete the project as well as other tasks. This was important to me because now I have a good idea of the group dynamics and I know what everybody has to offer after speaking with them at the meeting. I am excited to be working with 9to5 and I am looking forward to tomorrow.
