CBD Reflection

During my time at On Track Academy, I was surprised how easy talking to the students there was. I am not that outgoing, so I thought it would be more awkward than it was. It was surprisingly easy to talk to the students, and they were very interested in hearing what we had to say about college life. I feel that our conversations about college will help these kids with figuring out what they need to do to apply to a university, and hopefully help them decide what they will do after high school. On track was unlike any school I have seen before. The fact that it is catered to students who have to support their family, or have other issues at home is quite amazing. Because of their family situations, many of the kids were very independent and outgoing. My time at On Track showed me how easy and fun it is working in a team. All of the activities we participated in required teamwork, which allowed us to better connect with and understand the students. It also gave the students an opportunity to use their talents to help us with the activities. Teamwork can change your perspective of a person and is a major part of community building. Community, in my opinion, is a small area where people live together, and are some way connected. I feel that community building day was a great way for us to come together as a school and a community to help out those in our area. The support from our community at Whitworth can make a huge difference, and I feel that our support and service to On Track will really help the students there plan out a future, or just help them feel they have support. Community building day was an amazing experience, and I feel that it is such an important event here at Whitworth.
