OKC

Me standing at the spot the bomb was left.
The Child Welfare department of Oklahoma has a program with all the big universities, where they select a few social work students and pay $7000 per semester for their Junior and Senior years, if the student agrees work for the department for 18 months afterwards.
I am really hoping to be one of the chosen few.
Today was the first step of the application process, where all hopefuls had to meet in Oklahoma City for a seminar on the in's and out's of child welfare work.
ORU took a van full.
On the way back to campus, we stopped at the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial.




The memorial has chairs with the name of each victim in the perspective spot they would have been when killed. The trees outline the walls of the building.


Thousands of children sent in art as condolences to the families.They transferred the art onto a wall as a thank you to all the children for showing their support.
