I didn't do much this week, since much of my time ended up used as preparation for the midterm. However, I did volunteer as usual, and I did work on the elements of the project that I will finish next week to wrap up the project. Actually, I did have an interesting experience this week. While I was working at the food shelf, a woman asked if we had any crackers. I had not seen any in the back room, but I decided to search through the numerous donated grocery bags. After searching for a while with no success, I finally found one box. She was so grateful when I gave it to her. I realized that this kind of result I would like to see coming from my project; I want to give people something to be grateful for, and I hope that improving health and providing nutritious food that people want will ultimately do that.
I didn't really learn much new, partly because I didn't get to work too much on it. Although, it was reinforced that my project is attainable, and I have clear steps to follow to carry it out. Also, from the experience at the shelf, I got a glimpse of the kind of effect my project can have.
