Through this project, I learned a lot about service and how everybody needs help in these hard times. It made me think a lot about the animals there and how much I wanted to help them. We raised a lot of money and supplies for the animals and the people, and I am proud of it.

I learned a lot throughout this project. I had to be flexible, I had to change ideas, and I had to abandon ideas throughout this project. At the start of this project I thought it was going to be very hard. I thought I wasn't going to be able to keep up with all the work. But now I realize that even though some of it was challenging it was also fun. I learned lots about how different organizations and donation center work throughout this project. This project has changed me for the better. Now I know how easy it is to set up a wish list or a donation box for different organizations.

There were many fun parts of this project like contacting our organization and creating our padlet. There were also many challenging parts of this project like getting people to buy stuff off your wish list and doing hours of service for the organization. I hope that in high school I will look back on this project and I hope it motivates me to do more service.

Overall this was a very fun and challenging project. I hope to do more service in the future and help more and more people. I recommend that you try doing service for others, I assure you that it feels good to help others.
