The end of a life changing journey /(Ｔ_Ｔ)\

These past weeks have been the best weeks of my high school years. Having the opportunity to help out someone who needs it and being able to donate to an organization that supported the cause we wanted to help out.

As the weeks went by, I learned a lot about how to evaluate organizations by looking at their tax returns and by finding out about their ideals about the cause and what they do each day to help out the cause.

At first Children and Youth Services seemed as interesting as animal care and I was still undecided about whether I wanted to do it or whether I wanted to try to do something else. As our groups got picked, I was still unsure about my cause. However, as the weeks went by, I got interested and started researching extra.

As for my group, it was a great experience to work with my teammates. Since week two I got to know a lot more about their beliefs, and how they thought about things. Although we had some communication problems, we started fixing that problem and it made us be more proficient in our work, made us agree easily on things, and finish our work faster and better. In addition, by working in groups, I also found out the importance of teamwork. working by yourself can be sometimes stressful because you get frustrated too easily when something doesn't go the way you want it. however, as I worked with my group, I noticed that when you were having trouble finding out about an organization or contacting them, they were there to help you which made the work really easy.


This Thursday, when we go deliver the checks to the organizations, I am hoping for the organizations to give us a warm welcome. I don't know if my organization is one of the ones selected to visit, but either way, I will be happy that my organizations will be donated at least $250.00 so they can help someone that needs that money to have food or whatever their necessities are. 

To the end of this amazing experience I thank Mr. Ponsford for  teaching us all about non profit organizations and for making this project possible.
