REFLECTIONS: I Was Mistaken


My main realization upon coming home was how sheltered we all are up here in Maine. How many people do you know who actually understand the situation down there. I found it interesting that whenever I would talk about my summer plans with my school friends and would mention working in New Orleans the usual response would be "Oh well that's nice but isn't it all cleaned up its been almost two years". I find it amazing now that people could still think that way
Before we left I knew that we would get a lot of work done but not enough to make a difference on a grand scale it was only after our first day of working that I realized how mistaken I was and that every small act of kindness that we accomplish can radically change someones life.
