Looking Back

Hi Bloggers,

Looking back on my project, I don't regret a thing. I don't regret the fact that I started later than I should have. I don't regret that I didn't know nearly about my community as I had thought. And I definatley don't regret the fact that I helped some people.
Starting later definatly felt like a penalty in the begining. But as I started working on it, I felt pushed to do better than I would have done if I had started earlier.
Learning about all the shelters in my area has definatly got me to do more. Even just during the summer, I've started walking for causes more and even helped out at a food shelter.
Collecting the books and blankets was really fun. But the thing that really opened my eyes was working with the kids. They were so cute and innocent. It was awful thinking about the children ever being in an abusive setting. Who could do that to a child?
By doing this project, I feel I've learned not only about others, but about myself. I work better under pressure. I never would of thought that was true. I learned that I like working with people...a lot. As a result as all of this, I hope to go back and work with the kids again.
