So, "Wolves on the Prowl" was on November 8, 2008. "Wolves on the Prowl" is a name given to the time when buisness students go do community service. We had about five different events we could participate in, and I, as well as a couple of my friends, chose to go to Wilson Charter School (in New Orleans) to help clean up and do different things.
When we got to the school, we were greeted by the principal and other staff members. We were given a speech that made us feel very excited to be there and good about helping others. We were given key chain necklaces with "Wilson Wolves" imprinted on it, and they told us that the only people to have these are Wilson students so we should be glad we got one too. We were split up into different groups, some painting, some planting plants, some doing posters, and much more.
Some of us chose to paint one of the social workers' offices. When we got in there it was a wreck. There were dead bugs on the floor, dust everywhere, paint falling (crumbling) off the walls. It was just unbelievably disgusting. First we had to clean up. It took us the longest to do this. Then, we had to clean the walls; which also took a very long time.
Finally, we started painting when we had pretty much only an hour left; keep in mind, this was a four hour event. It started off being a good experience, and turned bad quite quickly. People that decided to be in our group, after we started, decided that was not what they wanted to do and left us to fend for ourselves. So, we had no choice, we did.
We painted and finished ten minutes after we were supposed to leave. And we didn't even really finish. We did not get to put all the things we took out back into the office, which made me feel bad for the social worker, because it took at least five of us to get all the stuff out and now there was only one person to put all the stuff back in.
Overall, the bonding with my classmates was a good experience, but the task itself was challenging and infuriating. Next time, I hope it is better than 
this one.
this one.
