After our first month and a half in Summit Park, the school year is well under way. We have had time to settle in and grow accustomed to college life once again. While the houses themselves are very comfortable to live in, that is not the main purpose of the Summit Park program, nor is it our main priority as Summit residents. We have recently arranged our first meeting of the year with our contact at Boys and Girls Town and will be taking care of background checks as well as determining our plans for the future. As of right now, we know that we will be working with young boys from ages eight to twelve years. The actual interactions that will be occurring between us and these boys have yet to be defined, but we are all looking forward to the opportunity to better both ourselves and our community through this wonderful organization. Our excitement mounds as we approach our first experiences with the children and our chance to make a difference grows ever closer. I can't wait to earn my place among the Summit residents!
