PERSONAL CONNECTION
My experience with the service learning project,
was eye opening, because we saw how hungry
people were for something we can easily grab in
our own kitchen, we had just handed out the
items and one of them was already eating the
food while we were leaving the parking. It helped
remind me of how blessed i am and taught me to
give to those in need, more often. - Samanta H
My experience was great it made me look at
people differently and showed me that we need to
appreciate all the little things we take for
granted. - Melanie Garcia
It made me feel better person and how people
are all the same, i wanted to help the community
and other people in need. - Yovanni Garcia
I thought it was inspiring to see homeless
appreciate the little things we gave them, they
still accepted it and thankful for it, that showed
that we should be thankful for the little things.
-Sonia Roldan
This act of kindness made me feel like I was
actually helping someone.And it was sad how the
ten packages were gone so fast.I also didn't know
that there was so many homeless. This
experience was very eye opening- Jorge
Martinez
