Final Reflection- End of the project

Teach love, generosity, good manners and some of that will drift from the classroom to the home and who knows, the children will be educating the parents.-Roger Moore

    Ok so, at the beginning of this project, my partner and I didn't talk much. I think that completing this project has bought us closer together. We were initially paired together because both our philosophies were centered around helping animals in need. Aside from that, our philosophies were completely different. We started working together and I could see how our philosophies were starting to connect. We both liked volunteering and being generous towards animals and we both realized, over time, just how much animals benefit from generosity. In the beginning we were going to volunteer once a week at a different place each week. we ended up doing something completely different. Hannah and I went to a place called Ferdinand's Familia over the weekends and we went to the Greyhound Adoption Center during the week. I feel like I really impacted the animals lives for the better and I find myself wanting to go back, even though the project is over. Near the end, I feel that both of us felt really accomplished in what we had done to help the animals. It seems like we really changed the views of people around us and we changed our own personal views as well. I feel closer to animals than I ever was before and I think that, with a little bit of effort, everybody could be closer to animals.
