Observation 2

I posted my notes to the Journal post, so this will be what I learned.

I watched the people enter in the classroom and overall most people seemed like they wanted to be there. People come to church for many reasons. Some people wanted to be there and wanted other people to be there. They walked up to people and shook hands and asked names. They smiled and their eyes appeared to be open.

Watching people I wonder what they think of me. A wife going to church without her husband, sitting by herself, and not wearing makeup because I cry it off most of the time. Then I decided I didn't want to go there on that self reflection. I go to church for myself  not for what other people think. But if I looked at it deeper I might know how people look at me and why they treat me the way they do.

But over the week what helped me the most was preparing the research paper review. I had to tell someone no this week and the person became completely despondent. Their shoulders dropped and and eyes went to the ground, and he put his phone down on the counter and walked away. Who purposely leaves their phone? These actions prompted me to call a welfare check on him.
