I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 258: Carnival Oops
Today, Devereux (the place I volunteer at) held a family carnival in order to raise money or clothing donations. I signed up to volunteer from 9am-11am for carnival setup.
Result: I go to Devereux at 9am. I drive around. There is no one around and no carnival setup stuff. I go into one of the buildings and ask where the carnival is. Long story short, turns out the carnival is in a shopping center 5 minutes from the center. The volunteer coordinator never said in the emails that the carnival was located somewhere else! And I wasn't the only volunteer who thought they were at Devereux.
But it all worked out. We both got there, and it was no biggie. It was fun, and I'm glad that I volunteered for it.
