This experience was amazing: I was able to interact with many sweet people and work with the IDEAL students who were very welcoming. We made posters for the football game on Saturday and presented them to each other, learning each other’s names and having a great time.

This project gave me a chance to work with children for a short amount of time in a daycare setting and it improved my hope for future generations, reminding me of the potential children have to change the world. The smiling faces, competitive rants, and energetic dances reminded me of what it was like to be a kid.

I really enjoyed my experience at the Community Food Bank. The staff was very friendly and helpful, never growing frustrated with my many questions and always providing assistance when needed, giving very clear instructions. I felt a sense of pride as I worked alongside others for hours, not stopping for a break even when a break was offered. It was an empowering experience to be surrounded by people like me who simply want to make a change in our troubled society and world.
