The first day on the work site was quite interesting. After working on one house as a complete team, we split and we went to another house to help out. Although it was even farther away, I was still glad we ended up at the house. We got to meet the homeowner, Rosalina, and she was very nice and inviting. There were a few obstacles we had to overcome, some being a colony of roaches and a friendly, yet intimidating, pitbull named Jewl. As a team we were able to have the people that didn't mind the roaches work on tearing down the wall, and those of us who were deathly afraid of them, myself included, worked on putting leftover sheetrock into bags to be disposed of. It was good to figure out our weakness and find ways to overcome them.
