This was a while ago, like 11years ago but I never really stopped thinking about it.
*DISCLAIMER*
this is %100 true, memory is a bit fuzzy about it but will answer questions.
I went to a high school in Chula Vista, for those who don’t know, Chula Vista is about 20 min or so from the Mexican border to Tijuana, keep that in mind.
At the time we were needed to do volunteer hours to graduate, so I tried the library she stuff. One of day in sophomore year, I just turned 15, a friend of mine told me about a volunteer program to clean the city, it would be worth about 8hrs in one day.
I didn’t really want to but got convinced anyways, the area we were assigned was close to some mobile home park, I think it might still be there, Granada I think it was called, keep this in mind too
For the first hour or so we were just picking up trash from the street, helping people from the park take trash out, just simple stuff, about lunch break some guy came by and asked us about the program
