Personal Reflection

            First and foremost, this community based learning course was successful in reaching every goal we set out to accomplish.  I don’t believe there were any specific set goals, but personally I had three: Create an impressive advertising campaign to present to Philabundance and beat Palumbo—check, build a friendly and “big brother” esque relationship with the students—check, and inspire them to strive for a higher education or something more than a diploma from Kensington CAPA—hopefully check.  There were challenges/obstacles that conflicted with all three of my personal goals.  Student attendance and their willingness to immerse themselves in the project were the two biggest challenges we faced.  Our biggest opponent was time.  Regardless, we conquered scheduling conflicts, flakey attendance, and inactive involvement the best we could and I was proud of our final product.
