SUMMARY
Reflection
This has been a wonderful experience overall, even though I had to drive a bit farther than I usually would. I got to experience a different area of WNC that I usually don’t visit. I was able to meet amazing SECU managers that were very helpful, and then county board office staff that were caring. In the future, if needed, I would love to participate in this program again it was very rewarding and even if I can’t I will make sure to promote the drive and donate as well.
Project Impact
I am very thankful to get to participate in such a wonderful program. It was worth the drive to ensure that local rural students are able to excel in school with supplies they may need.
