Second time going

       This time I was helped set the tables and clean up after the people left. This time I had more of a chance to get to talk to them. I would set the tables with a napkin and a spoon and a fork. After the people would get up to leave, I would clean where they were and put down the stuff again. I would talk to every few every now and then. I would ask them what they did and how they were. You know just small talk. How they are and what they do. It was fun and the time went by fast. Getting to know some of the people felt nice.
     By talking to the people there i was about to be friendly conversation. I learned about some of there personal life. They disclosed information I wasn't expecting but I guess they had reason to trust me. It took me a while to warm up to them because I didn't know what to say and I didn't want to offend anyone. It was easy to tell what they were feeling and some body languages. Like i said it was good to be able to talk to them and I will have to do it again.
    I have learned its ok to ask people about how they are. I was always worried that I would be stepping on someones toes or making someone feel uncomfortable with I asked them. I feel as though I might be imposing on them since I am rather big which to me would seem that I feel bad for them and that is why I am doing what I am. I didn't get anything bad, just a lot of thanks and stuff that made me feel good about doing what I was doing.

The First Time at Cafe on the Vines

    What I did was I helped serve the food to the people who needed it. Given the small chance to communicate with them, I didn't get to get much information. All I got to ask them was if they wanted the food, and how their day was. I felt bad for most of them. Some of them would say "Im doing good", or "Its alright". I could tell it could have been better, but I guess its better to be positive about it. I was able to talk to the other people working there though.
    Like I said I didnt get all that much of a chance to talk to the customer. The other volunteers are very nice people. We gave a little bit of information about each other, Just getting to know one another. Disclosing some information. Getting to know them was good, and it makes me want to go back and do more.
   I can now use what I have learned to be able to get over my problem with talking with people I don't know.
