EARLY PERCEPTIONS“ I was really nervous at first. I was apprehensive about working with exceptional students that I had never met before. I felt nervous that it might be overwhelming for the students, but was very excited to give it my best shot!” ~Kim

“ I was very excited to visit with the students again. I had very high expectations of how our service learning project would be implemented and achieved.” ~Kayleigh
