This quote relates to both my project and my experience in service learning. My partners and I all worked hard every day in and outside of class promoting our event, selling bracelets, and planning out the pageant itself. We stayed determined to make this project successful and had to endure some obstacles, such as the struggle we had the first few weeks trying to find a location to hold the pageant. In this class, I learned that hard work and determination are not only important to service, but are valuable traits I should possess for everything I do in life. Once our project was completed, I felt extremely happy and proud of myself that the pageant was a success, and that I was able to make a difference by donating a lot of items and money to the Lowell Humane Society.
