My duties included hauling the clothes to the room we had reserved, sorting through them, and folding them. I also purchased the under garment with the money that was raised in the clothing drive.

In this class I learned about how to be a better team member. This semester I was reminded of how important communication is and how people need to keep emphasizing it as one of the most important skills any person could possesses. The personality test was useful, I think it gave all of us a good way to start to see how everyone is different. It made it easier for each of us to better understand one another in how our unique personalities can be a challenge when working with others.…
