guest writer
It started as a neat-sounding
idea.
Community service? Volunteer
ing? Naively, I thought I could
change the world.
No one told me I was right.
It was almost by accident that I
ended up tutoring at Pathways, a
family homeless shelter down
town. I remember going in and
hanging back a little because here
was a group of people everyone
talked about, but no one really
knew.
There were so many stereo
types floating around in my head,
though I told myself I didn't have
any. What would they think of me?
A student at a private college
(never mind the scholarships),
coming in and saying, you could
use some help. Let me help you.
That takes a lot of nerve, even if
they have the choice to say no. Just
who did I think I was? And how in
the world could I understand their
world?
All of a sudden, halfway into
the room, I stopped. Flying out of

Casablanca
One of the most memorable film
experiences of all time, CASABLANCA
has acquired the status of true Hollywood
legend. The plot concerns wartime refugees
gathering to obtain scarce exit visas to
London. The final airport sequence is not to
be forgotten.

nowhere, a small body attached it
self to my leg, and it seemed pre
pared to stay there. And suddenly,
my years of experience with kids
took over. My heart was stolen. I
came back. The next semester I
went two nights a, week. This se
mester I go three.
The most important thing I
learned was that kids are kids.
People are people. Hopes, fears,
frustrations—they are universal
things. I also learned that I don't
know much about the world of be
ing homeless. It's a realm of expe
rience that I've never known, and
in some ways, won't be able to un
derstand.
But it doesn't stop inside the
shelter. Sitting, working with a
child, I always forget that this is a
homeless child—because that's
never as important as whether
they're shy or noisy, timid or
swaggeringly sure, excited or
bored beyond belief.
Yet, homelessness is a large part
of their lives, and it's impossible
to become so close without becom
ing close to the issue. After all,
homelessness is no longer just a
catch phrase of the socially aware
for me. Homelessness has faces
attached. No one ever told me that
when you're trying to change the
world you're more likely to change
your life.
You know, it's a scary thing
getting started. We all like to think
that we'd do something good, if we
had the chance. The truth is, we
have chances every day. Some
times it's loaning a vacuum to
someone down the hall, sometimes
it's pounding nails into the houses
of the elderly or the disabled,
sometimes it's doing our part for
the environment. Whether on a
practical day-to-day basis, or fight
ing for large-scale social change,
we can all change the world.
If, by any chance, you'd like to
change the world by getting in
volved in the community, stop by
the Project Community office, lo
cated in the basement of Founders.
We have all sorts of volunteer in
formation for one-time volunteers
this summer—in the States and
abroad. No commitment is neces
sary; just stop by to check us out.
