This weeks is the beginning of March Madness here in New Orleans for numerous of nonprofits in the area. March Madness, meaning not basketball, but a swarm of college students rushing to this lovely city to party, volunteer, party, party, party, drink, drink, drink, volunteer for their spring break. Now, it is true that you can tell the difference between service groups and spring breakers. In my opinion, spring breakers are the ones who seem a bit lazy and seem to have no clue. I can just imagine them bragging about their time in New Orleans and how they saved these poor unfortunate souls.I have so many stereotypes when it comes down to this. The jocks, the sorority girls and the frat boys. Drives me nuts actually. NO JUDGING. I do try my best not to judge, but sometime the thought crosses my mind when I'm interacting with folks. It happens.
So far, the groups I've worked with have been from bad to good. I love the groups that are self motivators, you give them a task and they get the job done. The others on the other hand, tend to need you to baby them. To tell you the truth, I'm not really the type who is going to do that. I'm not much of a leader as it is. I'm just not the type who is into bossing people around. I'll ask you nicely to do something and I have to raise my voice because people can't hear this shy girl's voice. Other than that, I'm pretty chilled. For me, I like having a job that's going to keep me busy for a few hours and if there is too many people in one spot working, I kinda back off.
Anyway, lost my train of thought. I guess, I'll just keep it short then. This month is going to be interesting that's for sure.
