Social Change

On the Wartburg College Social Change chart, I fit under the Community Building spot. I participate in baseball here at Wartburg and this is where it fits. I think this brings the community together by anyone interested in baseball watching and supporting our team. Being a small community like Waverly, a baseball game can be a huge part in people getting together to support their college team. This creates a close knit community. If I know that people are watching, not just our parents, I feel like people care about how we do. If we are supported by the community I know that we will be very thankful for the support and maybe even do better from that.

When I read that story for today I really was shocked. So many organizations are losing members and declining very rapidly. It seems very hard to believe, I go to church whenever I am home and we support our church and seeing that people don't go to church or boy scouts or even simple town meetings is crazy to me. I was in Indian Guides which is like boy scouts and that was a huge part of my child hood and this created the bong between me and my dad being as strong as it is. A lot of these organizations need volunteers too and now a day we have a lack of them. Earlier this year the baseball team helped the boy scouts do a 5k run. I think this was awesome to give back and help the community. I know that I should do more volunteering like I did in high school but with the busy schedule I have it is hard to find time other than study and sleep.
