School administration and staff may also need to examine their practices and curriculum to develop school-wide systems in which students are able to be academically, behaviorally, and socially successful…

Originally it was challenging to keep doing it because no one would ever say that they actually wanted the help but over time people slowly began comfortable with being helped. However as I went through the program I began to see how not everyone is not as fortunate as you and it feels good to give back to people your age older and also younger. As I completed the programs over the summer my eyes were opened up to see what is really out there in “the real world”.…
