My Life at Yale house

I was in a residential home called Yale house in Bryn Mawr for a year. This home suppose to be teaching you how to be independent and teach you how to be an adult. But there was a lot of problems in that residential tho. When you have a problem with an other resident or staff, you were to report it to the upper manage person of the home and they would take care of it. But the problem is, they just talked to that other person and they don’t deal with the situation at times. Now there were some good days of Yale House. Like we went to Ocean City, NJ, and a water park in NJ, and we went bowling a couple of times, and we went to the Chinese lantern festival, etc. We had groups every morning and afternoon and we would do something that will teach us to be independent. Like one time, we had sex ed, and cooking classes, and we talked about mental health. Every Friday, we would walk with the Therapists around town and we would have fun food Friday too. On Thursdays, a therapy dog named Jake would come to the house and did tricks for us! Every week, we would go food shopping and learn how to spend the amount of money we get for the week.
