Orientation

On a nice Thursday evening I attended the ALPHA orientation. I had already attended the HIV and AIDS information meeting that went over more details about the virus and its affects on poeple, how they cope and live a happy life despite their illness. I arrived early to orientation with only two other nice girls. I helped set up the oreintation room with chairs. We came in and sat down I recognized a few of the guys from the HIV class like Duane, Kevin, and a few others. It was 15 min past 6 and and still non of the other 8 scheduled people showed up. So me and the other two girls had a "small" session for orientation that allowed us to ask a lot of questions and it seemed more like a conversation style meeting. The meeting went on for 2 and a half hours and it kinda went over the same information as the HIV class about ALPHA and its background which I still enjoyed and learned a lot more about their start. I am starting to understand more about HIV and its cause and effects on people.
