The last few weeks have been exciting and long. Even though
I am not excited about the cold weather that will come during the night out, I am excited about
the experience. This event is really dear to me because I remember my granddad
taking me around downtown Dallas and me seeing all the homeless people and
wondering why they were homeless. I still remember the day when some MSL members and I were at the
football game and we were wondering why people were sleeping in tents at the
intramural fields. I thought it was social work because I had remembered a year
before that they were doing homeless awareness. Then I had a GREAT idea! I
suggested to MSL that we should do a camp out for hunger and homeless awareness
and let’s just say they all thought my idea was stupid and there was a huge
argument. Even though I was not a part of the Diversity and Inclusion idea/process the first year, it
is great to see this actually happening and succeeding on our campus. I am also
excited about the Hunger Games twist that Diana and I created for this year’s
night out. I know it will be a fun time, if I have to die for it!!! J
