At the Catholic high school I went to, service to others was stressed heavily, and every year there were different service requirements. This past year, my senior year, it turned out that our specific requirement was that we had to choose a particular agency to work at for at least one day a week throughout the entire school year, and I personally chose to work in an after-school program.
I know this seems like a bit of aimless rambling on my part, but my point is basically one of the reasons I like Goo is because she reminds me so much of so many of the third-graders that I had the joy of working with, all of them so chatty, bubbly, and just loaded with more spunk than one would think possible to find in a mere eight or nine-year-old. But of course, it wasn't all fun and games, as they of course got into far more than their fair share of mischief.
Now I'm gonna stop before I start becoming too nostalgic on the subject.
