So, this month SCL has created something where the scholars and some of the guys from SCL walk certain areas at night getting to know the area and see if we can make a difference to some of the kids that out there. Now, these kids are troubled so to speak and need a little bit of guidance in their lives. So, that’s what our objective is. To see if we can help them! Before the walks stared, I’ll admit, I was skeptical of it. I wasn’t sure if this was even going to work. I mean, how would you feel if you were in a park at night with your buddies, and some strangers came up to you and asked you what you’re doing and where you are going tonight? Just doesn’t seem right, ya know? But I was sure wrong. These kids actually spoke to us and gave some insight about the area and the problems they were facing. They knew we weren’t there to get them in trouble, but there to listen and help. They opened up, well a few of them, and told us some good information. The only thing that was bad about the walks was it was so cold! Some of those nights I had on 3 layers to stay warm. I’m from Chicago, I know what cold is. Regardless, we still made an impact and that is all that matters.
