My pre-law fraternity Phi Alpha Delta participated in a Habitat for Humanity build. We helped with the framing of the roof on a house in Phoenix to a kind, grateful and deserving family.
I was up at 6:30am and building by 8am until almost 2pm. It was such an amazing experience. I really felt like something I was doing was making an immediate difference in another persons life.
I don't really know how to describe what I was thinking other than that... I can't find the words.
But it was nice being a part of such an important group and although I didn't say much I enjoyed just listening and observing.
If you ever get an opportunity to be a part of something like this, take advantage of it. I took more out of it than just another community service project and I hope that everyone can have such a positive experience and know these feelings.
... and yes I am sooo sore! I don't think I've ever performed so much manual labor in 1 day. But it was all totally worth it!
