Happy MLK Day everyone! This morning me and Lauren did a day of service with her Firm. We dragged ourselves up bright and early and got on a shuttle bus to PS 292 in East New York.

| Congressman Weiner |
When we got there, we were greeted in the auditorium with a real-life "DrumLine" experience, the only thing we were missing was Nick Cannon. After the students performed their step routine, we settle in for several speakers, including Congressman Andrew Weiner and volunteers from
City Year. The organization is a branch of AmeriCorp and it was inspiring to hear all of their stories and how many people they have helped.
Our group was in charge of a mural outside of the auditorium which was a dedication to their successful martial arts program. We also helped out painting some healthy eating panels for the cafeteria, but those were a little bit more detailed so I tried to stay clear from messing up their daily eating quarters. The day was incredibly rewarding, we met interesting people, and I got to embrace my inner artiste.
