We had to wake up early today to meet our team leader for New York Cares at the 59^th street station. Once all of the volunteers got our meeting place on the platform of the D train we headed way uptown to the alternative housing center to meet the kids that we were taking to the Transit Museum. Once we got there we were assigned a kid to chaperone during the remainder of our NY Cares session. My kid was fourteen and was taller than me, he was the oldest of the kids that lived at this housing center, so he was very responsible and I knew we would be every easy to chaperone. We gathered the kids and went to the subway station to begin our roughly 45 minute train ride to the museum in Brooklyn. When we got of the train we stopped at a McDonalds to get the kids and ourselves something to eat. Eventually we made our way to the museum, which was located in an old subway station to emphasize it’s purpose of being the Transit Museum. It was filled with all of the history behind the old subway trains and buses, but the kids were not to interested in the history so we went down to the old platform where there were many old subway cars. They had subway cars dating all the way back to the 1930’s and it was pretty cool to see how far we have come from a technology standpoint. After hours of climbing around the subway cars and fake driving buses we headed back to the housing center that collectively took over an hour. We said goodbye to our kids and we made our way back to the Village, which took about another 45 minutes. We in retrospect spent most of hour day on the train and waiting in subway stations. When we eventually got back to the apartment we were all bushed, so I power napped most of the late afternoon. After my great nap Jordan and grabbed a bite to eat. Once it got a bit later we when to a sketch improve comedy show in the East Village. It was a great show and unlike anything I have ever seen. Once again I need to get a good night sleep again because I have to get up early again to go help serve lunch at a soup kitchen with my mother in the morning. Today was another productive day and energy level at the moment is testament to our long day.
