not take back any second of it. I experienced so many great memories and eye-opening
opportunities. The most frustrating moment of my senior project journey was the
organization factor. I really struggled with keeping all my research and notes in the
same place. If I could change one thing I would have created some sort of planner or
calendar so I could mark off everything after I finished it. Even through the frustrating
moments of this project, the memories and happiness created outweigh the struggles
any day. The most eye-opening moment that I experienced was when I realized how
similar I am to kids with special needs. We shared so many common interests including
favorite shows, food, and even sports teams. I realized how many people push aside
kids with special needs because they see them as different or less than them. People
with special needs bring so much to this world and I finally got to see it first hand. The
main thing I would do again is the Night to Shine event. This event was a special needs
prom and it celebrated the successes they had throughout the year and gave them the
opportunity to get all dressed up and let loose. I had so much fun dancing and laughing
with them and I would do so much to experience this night again. My mentor John Blake
succeed and allowed me to connect with so many different kids. This project reflects
of service. I see myself as a change maker and someone who will put others before
myself. This project has allowed me to become a better person and has changed my
perspective on life.
