Recruiter

Wednesday night I actually was able to talk to someone that was able to say a thing or two about the VoluntEARS group. In the final moments of my Disney College Program interview, my recruiter opened the floor for questions. I asked about the VoluntEARS. She seemed impressed that I asked about the group. My recruiter however, didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know, but she did let me know that it is a wonderful opportunity and that community service is a big deal to Disney. Anyway... those are just my thoughts right now. I am still in the mix of thinking about project 2 and what direction I am going to go with it. I keep learning new things about the VoluntEARS group. I kind of have interest in the Blood Drives that the group gets involved with and the playground building mission. Whichever way I go, it is nice to do research and to brainstorm about something that I am passionate about.

Peer Review

I have been doing a lot of thinking about how tomorrow Peer Review is going to go. I have been trying to dig into my group and get as deep into the layers that I possibly can. I have talked to a couple of other people about how to get in contact with people and how to go about getting feedback for this first project. I think it is insane! I have been bouncing around from blog to blog from previous voluntEARS and I have been looking into all of the good and deeds that the group has done.

Leads me to my second thought...
Where in the heck am I even going to go with this project?

I have considered thinking into taking the common good of my group, finding an area that may need some help, such as updating playground equipment or finding some form of project and that being my base of the fundraising. However, I have been wrapped into internship mode too... I have no earthly idea. I feel like I go in one direction and then for some reason I sway with myself and want to take another approach. I have also considered making it seem like VoluntEARS is pairing with another well known group, such as Toys for Tots or The American Red Cross to get people to donate for their cause.

I have just had my mind going in a thousand different ways at once. Good thing is that I have knowledge of my group that I want to represent and that I know that as imaginary as this is... I want it to feel real and I want to have a successful bonding with this project and future projects in Writing for Change.

I hope my thoughts make some inch of sense. Meh.

Volunteer for Disney

I thought this was interesting... so if you are a broke college student and you are looking for a way to look into working your butt off, getting some volunteer experience, but you are wanting it to pay off... check this out...

From my research you basically sign up and work/volunteer for Disney and you become part of a point system. Once you have logged a "X" amount of hours, you are given in return free admission to Disney.

Thought it was neat and just wanted to share.
