For my service learning project, since I am a non-practicing religious person I chose to seek out an individual who is religious and discuss some of our similarities and differences. I chose this particular project because I often find myself confiding in one of my religious friends, about different aspects in my life and I feel that she provides me with appropriate advice often from a religious standpoint.

I truly admire her for that. I on the other hand sometimes get frustrated with the little things in life. At those moments, I know I can fall back on Kaye and she will always find the words that make my day that much better. I believe that is the true meaning of our friendship.
I think this project fit into my classroom content in the way that this course is teaching me something new every single day, I learn something new about Kaye and the kind of friendship we have created. In completing this assignment, I take with
