Summary Reflection
I learned about Project FOCUS from my Organic Chemistry lab partner, Jameson.

I genuinely have an interest in all 21 of those students futures and I have created relationships with them that I will never forget. I am confident I taught most of them one thing whether that be about science, manners, or life, and that is something that was completely worth all the late night lesson plans, weekly journals, or hours out of my
