The “Accidental Stalker” 

To a Rocket activity. 

So, I’m standing under the Three Trees at the university, minding my own business, when I see a group of students gathering. Naturally, I did what any curious human does: I walked over and asked what was happening. They said, "We're going to do some volunteer service." I thought, "Cool, probably just cleaning up a classroom or planting a tree on campus." They started walking. I started following. 

Then we passed the university gates. Okay, fine. We kept walking for a few more blocks. At this point, I’m basically a professional private investigator. I’m taking pictures, sneaking around, trying to figure out where we're going. 

Finally, we arrive at a kindergarten in the community. Plot twist! Inside, I got to witness a lecture about... ROCKETS. 🚀 Yes, actual rocket science for tiny humans. Then came the best part: we helped the kids build their own paper rockets using scissors and paper. I haven't had that much fun cutting paper since I was five years old. 

We finished with a group picture and walked back. Honestly, I woke up that morning expecting a normal day, but I ended up being an accidental volunteer paparazzi and a rocket engineer. 10/10 would follow strangers again.
