When the interns and I entered
into Kingdom Causes and Our Place Housing Solutions’ offices, one of the weekly
roles we were given was to run the front desk. When I first heard about this
role, I was very anxious about taking calls and matching the right resources to
their needs. But through time, support from others in the office, and
familiarizing myself with the massive resource binder, that front desk went
from the nerve-racking front desk to simply the front wooden desk.
That desk has become a place where
I can get to know members from the community of Bellflower. Sometimes that
looks like just listening to their stories, other times it is helping them
troubleshoot with the computers in the front room. But no matter what, I can always
look forward to meeting someone from Bellflower who will change my day and has
something to share with me.
