Negativity is the crutch of small minds.
-Matt Meador

Here it is. My completed Community Area Assessment Paper for West Ridge. This assignment kept me from doing a lot of fun things over the last couple weeks, including brunch with friends, going to Arlington Park with my family, hanging with Julie, playing pool on Thursday, two barbecues, and two improv shows. It also kept me from doing all the other work for school. Maybe it's my fault for leaving so much until the end, but it took FOREVER.

I usually have a positive attitude, especially concerning school and the program I am in, but this is one of the worst assignments I have ever had to complete. I don't want to get into the details; I hated every minute of it, and am relieved that it is done.
