What I didn’t expect:

What surprised me was how much work we actually got done. I didn’t think the group was going to be able to finnish as much as we did on the houses. It always feels much better to finnish more than you thought you would in any task. This week was a good successful week in my book!

What I learned about service:

This past week really taught me the importance of service learning. What really stuck out was how the group would put their differences aside on the work site and always came together to work on the project of that day. Last week the group split up into two smaller groups to work on two different sites. The house which I was in was small and crowded in the beginning of the week but opened up with time when the house came together. This wouldn’t have been possible without the help of everyone in the group and volunteers. This help is much needed all throughout New Orleans.
