Emily Belak - Community & Social Services

I think that the Social Service Day was very informational.  I learned a lot of new things in a period of only a day. Going to the Jefferson house to me it was an eye opener to see what some kids have to go through, but also it is amazing that there is a place that is safe for kids to go while they are trying to get integrated back into their families and daily lives.  Secondly, the Low Income Ministry Activity really made me realize how some people have to live. And that it is extremely hard for some people to be able to find enough money just to support themselves and their family members.  The Care Core tour showed me that sometimes people go through difficult times in their lives where they don't know where they are going to live or get their next meal.  Lastly, the panel discussion was also very informational.  It was interesting to hear the points of view of all of the different people that are involved with the community and social services.  So overall the day was very enlightening.
