Q: What problems dd you experience during your community service project?

A: At first our big problem was that we couldn't find anywhere that needed volunteers. When we finally found Park River Estates we realized that we would have to spread the hours out since they didn't really have any opportunities for us to spend more than 2 hours a day. We also had some minor problems with the confidentiality rules and I ended having to edit my picture of the residents painting because not many of the pictures developed.

Q: Describe the success you experienced during your service project.

A: We were successful in completing all of our hours for the project, which was our #1 goal. We also felt great success that we were good volunteers and that we set a great example of what kind of people we are. We were very friendly and outgoing with the residents and they loved all of the conversation we threw at them, especially when we started talking about the 9/11 attacks and a few of the ladies didn't even know they had happened.
