My chior is doign a fundraising program for the kids who want to go to New York City to sing in Carnegie Hall called Rent-a-Kid. People can rent a pair or more of us who are willing to work to do work such as mowing laws, yard work, sweeping, washing windows, washing cars, and such.
Today me and three other girls and one of the girls brothers went out to a house south of the Wynochie Dam to RAKE the couple s WHOLE front and side yard that totals about a little over 2 acres. We first raked away all of the rocks and sticks from the dirt (there was no grass. It still needs to be planted.) Then we took piles of fertilizer/top soil and raked piles of that flat over about half of the yard. We raked for seven hours and were still not done. Going back tomorow to finnish it all up. All the while it is 105 degrees outside.
That is what kids do when they are determined to get somewhere. I and 13 others are willing to work our way to New York while the other 15 are putting their hopes alone in sponsors and their parents to get the funds to be able to go. I know ill have the money by the time we begin to pack next spring. All the hard work will be worth it when I walk up those steps and open the doors of Carnigie Hall to experience what few have ever experienced.
And, hey, I actualy liek the work. It dont bother me on ebit. Im just glad God invented gloves! :-)
