Pickens, SC

This is such a long over due post but the school were we are working at dosn't let us get to there kinds of sites. So I'm in Pickens S.C. working with some of the cutest kids around i help out in a 3rd grade class during the day and then tutor 2nd and 5th graders after school. I also go into the K-4, they love me in there so it;s a total mood booster. The school is so grateful that we are there and it totally shows they shower us with food all the time and the kids treat us like celebrities. There is a handful of kids that come from the Miracle Hill homeless shelter and they are the sweetest. All they want is a hug and someone to listen to them read. Alot of the kids were raised by a single parent, live in near poverty or have a broken home in some way. But they are all amazing and want to learn soooo bad, i hope that stays with them throughout middle school and hs because the dropout rate is above 50% in all the county. Its so sad beacuse you can tell they want to learn and get smart but many of there parents just don't encourage learning. I'm loving life so much hear and all the not so good things that happen are erased by the love the kids give us. Hope all are doing well and i'm fixen to get back here as soon as i can. love ya'll tons!!
