What I am Proud Of • Did not believe I could get so many products • “I always used to be nervous to do start something new and by myself but this just proved that I can!” • Students really helped out and donated more • “…it makes me realize that since I did this by myself that I do not always need other’s help.” • Not only did I do I think I did well in a class but I was able to help others • “Hygiene may not seem important to some people but to many it is the very basic to having great health”
Great Experience… • “I feel that this project will give me more motivation to start and do well in other projects.” • “I also learned how easy it is to help others.” • “Some basic skills I have learned are confidence, hard work, learning the importance of helping others, determination, and cooperation.” • “This project has made me want to continue to be a part of service learning and helping others.”
