Baldwin Center Experience

Before I went to the Baldwin Center, I did not know exactly what to expect. I actually was somewhat nervous, and uneasy about the whole trip. I was also very anxious and excited to give back to the community and even though I am not from Pontiac, charity is charity. I was expecting all types of homeless and poor people to be in the Baldwin Center. I was also expecting the Center to be dirty and unorganized.

While at the Center I was thrown completely off guard. All the employee's/volunteer's were really polite, nice and helpful. They also seemed as if they were really into helping people. Their attitude's inspired me to want to get more involved and want to give back. Everything was in order and although we were there to organize things, the Center was in good shape and is very structured.

I actually enjoyed my day at the Center and wish I could have stayed longer. After left the Center, I felt ashamed that I had never did any volunteer work before and I made a promise to myself even thought I have a very hectic and busy schedule, I would take sometime out at least twice a month to volunteer my time to some type of charity work.
