When Dr. Jones (Com. Prof.) asked me to volunteer at StoneFire Studios, I decided to oblige. Maxine, the manager of the organization, had a vision for the old tire warehouse. She wanted to turn the bland building into a community arts building wherein locals might gain a sense of culture, and also grow in their personal talents.
When I arrived at the service site, I immediately became concerned for the safety of the less experienced volunteers. The building was safe enough, but the back room did not warrant the access of the unaware ambulator.
I began the task of disassembling a series of metal tire racks. Though tedious, Maxine voiced her appreciation for the progress and completion of this task repeatedly. She provided constant positive reinforcement for my efforts. I felt a sense of accomplishment as I realized that no one would happen upon an injury due to my efforts.
