Still working on formatting

Adding in the Chicago formatting to my paper is taking longer than I anticipated, because there are actually a lot of things that I need to make sure I keep track of, besides the in-line citations with works in the footnotes. I'm still working out the finer details of the formatting, including line spacing, italicizing, etc.

I realized today that my paper was only 24 pages (because of the spacing that somehow was awkwardly messed up when I opened the file today), so I added a bit more to the child education section. I also added another section to the paper wherein I talked about the stories of the children I'd received as the Readathon progressed, and how it made me feel proud and excited that my volunteer work was, in fact, making a difference and motivated me to continue fundraising.

I think I may need to somehow find a way to incorporate more sources into my paper - since I intended this paper to be a personal account and not a research paper, I'm not sure if there's a minimum number of sources we're required to reference or cite. If I can list sources I referenced (but did not cite directly in the paper itself), then I can add a few more to my list. If not, I'll probably have to add even more stuff to the paper. We'll see; for now, I'm just working on adding the in-text citations and full citations in the footnotes.
