Back to the 70's and Mission High

From the moment I entered the doors at The Arc yesterday, I was swept up into the back room, camera in hand, to watch and photograph the 70's musical medley going on. The "Archestra", fronted by Rob, John (two staff people), Howard and a few other clients, played some hits like "We Will Rock You" by Queen, "Dancing Queen" by Abba and "Play that Funky Music" by Wild Cherry and a few others Meredith and I couldn't quite recognize. I ran around the room, snapping pictures until Howard decided I needed to go dance with them and pulled me through the audience to the front of the stage. Hilariously embarrassing! After I escaped, I headed by toward Meredith and waited from the dance portion of the show to being. I stayed for the rest of the show and then headed back to the office, where Meredith and I had a laugh. She goes "Wasn't that videographer really attractive." "I didn't see him" I replied. Just then, who walks through the door but the videographer? He was attractive. haha We managed to not look at each other and laugh, but when he left, I told her I agreed and she goes "Right! Don't tell Mike." (her husband). I told her my lips were sealed and we laughed saying it was too bad he was too old for me and too young for her. Today work consisted of some more fun out of the oridnary experiences. I was to meet Sharon (a client of The Arc) at Mission High School, where she mentors students with developmental disabilities. I can't describe how amazing Sharon is-she is one of the most positive and lovable people I've ever met. She is hilarious and so much fun to talk to. It was a great day getting to know Sharon better and seeing what an inspiration she is to these kids, as an adult with disabilities. I did some interviewing and picture taking and accompanied them on their trip to the grocery store, which offers practice in everyday tasks and interacting. Then it was back to the Arc for another productive, yet hilarious meeting with Meredith, Mark, Laura and Jaiden. Great couple of days!
