Volunteering for Obama Post #1

Soo, I definitely campaigned for Obama at the end of September, but at least I remember everything! I also added pictures from the volunteering in some of my prior posts. Lets see, I first volunteered for my Service hours with Tyler, Carrie, and Maggie! I had no idea what to expect since it was my first time canvasing, I was so nervous. I was surprised how happy and busy the volunteers were, helping to expand their beliefs out to others. I was pleasantly surprised when we were given a neighborhood to canvasing that I knew well. Our first house was one of my family friend's house so it was exciting to what they would say about the campaign. I was nervous at first to go up and ask the poll questions, so I watched for the majority of the night, helping out with filling the answers, and giving brochures. The four of us canvased for three hours, and until it got dark and super cold! As we were finishing our second hour, we saw Mr. Bergman!!!!!!!!! We all miss him sososo much! He was the best band director ever! Ohh and one of the last house's we went to had a little boy give us Go-gurt as a gift! It was so cute! We were thinking he thought we were early trick-or-treaters? I mean, September 25th is close to October 31st right? Haha! :) It was a fun first canvasing experience!
