Back on Track

Today, the girls in the One Girl Program finally got to go to our first trip to Walnut Springs Middle School! It will truly be a time management lesson as we only get to spend half an hour with the girls. The girls are all in 8th grade, and today we all participated in an ice breaker over TimBits and chocolate milk. Each of the girls (ourselves included) wrote down an interesting fact about ourselves and then turned them in. The facts were then read aloud and the girls had to try and guess which girl went with each fact. As tired as everyone at Otterbein is of ice breakers, it was a good way to get to know a little about the girls in the program, and also a good way for us to asses what kind of girls we were working with. We have already had some small bullying issues, and there are some clear cliques in the group already, but we hope to break through that and get these girls to be a good group of friends. I think this will be a good program.
