8. Reflection
This experience was one that I will never forget.
From the moment we met Shantae to the actual day
of the dinner, I was so excited about it all. I was a
little nervous when we began the project because I
was unsure of what was going to go on, but after
time spent with Shantae she calmed my fears and
made me feel great. I think the whole experience
really opened my eyes to high risk students. I have
been around high risk schools but to actually interact
with the students and get to do something so special
to them really made me feel special. I look forward
to going back to the center, and helping out again!
