Project● Personal Growth

○ Our senior service learning project have helped us better ourselves in the same ways. Not only did we tutor children but they helped us learn and succeed in different ways. This helped us mature because this project made us more organized and prepared. Our mindset has changed due to the fact of the whole learning process. I am thankful for this experience.

Conclusion● Our overall thought of this project is that it was very

successful. We made great memories and helped younger children in positive ways. We couldn’t be more thankful that we got the chance to help kids learn and grow their knowledge. This senior service learning project had a huge impact on our lives and the way we will value our education.
