THIS. IS. CRAZY.

Today is the last 20-time and I still remember when I started the project. It has been a quite the adventure. I actually learned so many life lessons during this project and I am thankful that. When I started this project I wanted to start a culture club but after many things I had to let go of that idea. During this time I had health problems that made me realize the importance of taking care of myself and the importance of life. Even though I wanted to start a culture club my overall goal was to do something that would help others and create a lasting impact. So when I started a transition program called Freshmen First I knew that I would be able to help others and bring change for the betterment.

I think this project has changed me in so many ways. I have found an even stronger passion in helping others and meeting new people. I met so many wonderful people and I know I'll meet more next year. I am excited to take this journey. The best part is the fact that my project doesn't end. I think this project will be a positive influence on the freshmen, their parents and the mentors. This project creates unity and gives a sense of belonging. Helping others is such as great feeling.

Through this project I learned how to deal with people who have different personalities. I learned that my health and my life are much more important than a project. If it is in my destiny I might fail many times but one day I will succeed. The learning that occurred in this project was hard because at the beginning there was so much freedom and not enough direction. But the best part of this project was the fact that I discovered a new me. I failed many times this year including in this project but I succeeded in other ways. This project taught me that it is okay to not be perfect all the time and sometimes our imperfections are what make us perfect.

I think this project was a failure turned success. I had to start over about two weeks in but everything happens for a reason and this new project is something I fell in love with. Students who will be doing this project next year will have a lot of fun but I can say one thing to them, do something you love. This makes the project so much fun. I think my passion in life is helping others and bringing positive change and this project helped me do that for sure.

This project helped me with my independent learning because this is what college will be like. It is always good to be independent in life. I think something that I feel everyone needs to know is how thankful I am for the support from my family, friends and teachers throughout this project. This project would not have been where it is without them. Everyone helped me when I was having trouble and walked with me to success. I love my family, friends and teachers so much!!!

The best part of this project is the fact that my journey does not end here. I get to continue something I love and hopefully Freshmen First will be here after I leave. Thank you to everyone!

With love,
