Look At Dem Sandmiches

Ah sandwiches, a great service activity that doesn't take up too much time, but is great for seeing te diversity of the city. This last one was exceptionally interesting, being that Travis is taking off for South Dakota this weekend, so it was the last time we would see him out in the city, and he had an interesting sandwich line to see him off. It was fairly average until the very end, we waited for a gentleman who is a little slower to arrive. Another gentleman wanted his sandwich, so we told him to wait, and see if no one comes, he can have it. Needless to say, someone came that had not yet received a sandwich, the guy wasn't too happy. He "praised" us for giving the sandwich to someone else who could need it. That's the way it goes for some people, they look too much towards themselves, and do not realize that there are hundreds of thousands of others who could use the same stuff at the same time. Travis wasn't too happy with the gentleman, but he kept his cool, and only vented his frustration under his breath as the gentleman left. After that, I made my way up to the Inwood Public Library, for a little New York Cares work. I was partnered with the oldest participant there. She was 13 or 14 years old, which is probably about 5 years older than anyone else there. I felt lucky that I had someone who was as unwilling to read as I was...it also helped that she spoke a lot of English, being that I do not speak a word of Spanish. I had a lot of fun, she was a cool kid, can't remember her name, but a cool kid none the less. Can't wait to do another project, it's going to be a fun time. Until next time.
