I try not to use the word "perfect;" I try to reserve it for the few things that actually are perfect. So I'll just say that Trinity First Lutheran School seems like an almost perfect fit for my project.
When I met with the principal, I explained what I was looking for and how I ended up at Trinity. I told her my stories of trying to find an organization to do urban Christian outreach with, and I told her about switching my social issue to that of education. She said that Trinity First Lutheran Church and School really work in both of those areas. You could say that their urban outreach is done through the education they offer. I also told her that as someone looking toward some kind of church work, I think it would be beneficial for me to understand the "inner workings" of a parochial school.
The ideal plan is to have me job shadow different staff members at TFLS and get involved with all areas of the school.
I will begin working there this week. I'll start by becoming involved with Tiger Club, the after-school program that includes homework help, games, etc.
So, even though I haven't yet started working there, I have to write Chapter 1 of my Project Report by Monday. Thankfully, I was given some videos and literature on TFLS, but I'm not sure I'm going to have very much to write about yet. (This wouldn't all be so bad if I didn't have an Old Testament paper to write and test and final to study for. But whose complaining? Happy Thanksgiving break.)
