I like the reading to children idea as well. My fears there are I have little experience around them and I will be awkward and stiff. Also, I am currently not reading aloud very well in speech therapy. It is improving constantly but not at a place I feel confident with. And after 5 minutes I begin to fall apart entirely. I also have no depth of character - it is completely flat, which is so frustrating. The therapist says that can go along with my lability.

If it were teaching them single words it might be okay. I do pronounce some oddly now though (in the enunciation of syllables mainly) so I don't want to do it wrong. Argh. Language was always my easiest skill!

Can you tell I have anxiety issues? >_<

Libraries are quiet and they need volunteers. You could meet some people there. Local food banks perhaps. A food bank would be less noisy and crowded than a soup kitchen.
