Research

I love research.
I took that class with Mackenzie and each day she would make us speak the words "I am starting to love research". At that time it was all a farce. I didn't love research. I didn't know anything about research except that it was the hardest class in the social work program. However after a semester of excruciating group work and mountains of article reading I can truly say that I do indeed love research. Mackenzie led us to examples of research in the Word and profits of research for the greater Kingdom. And now I think it's great. It's in my top 4 favorite classes taken at Trinity. Securely resting in spot four.
This week consisted of my last day at Karen C Primary. I went to say goodbye to some of the classes I taught and Head Teacher Warui had some work for me to do in preparation for the future of the graduating 8th graders. Getting into highschool in Kenya is a big deal. There are good high schools and no so good high schools and where a child ends up depends on their test scores. The work that Warui had for me consisted of me and another intern entering data onto a chart of the students names and the seven digit code representing their top three high school options. This was tedious, hand-written work for me and the other intern. We had a pen and white out which we thankfully used only sparingly. I really loved it. Data entry I'm sure can get really, really boring on large scale projects. But for this one day at Karen C, I felt like a real live researcher with real business to take care of.
