SUMMARY
Reflection
My time doing this project has been educational, inspiring, and fun all at the same time. I have gotten the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life, and make a difference for underprivileged groups. This project has opened my eyes to how complex life can be, and how it’s important to help others, even if it is something small. I have learned that compassion is one of the most important values to have in life. I would like to thank Food Lion, Target, Harris Teeter and Panera Bread for helping me along the way.
Project Impact
There is no limit to helping others.
PROJECTS TASKS
Page Week

I am very grateful to have been selected as page this year. My experience allowed me to learn a great deal about state government. I was able to tour state government buildings and see delicate historic artifacts. I was able to choose an executive department and create a policy that could potentially fix a problem that this department has been dealing with. Most importantly, I have been provided an amazing opportunity.
