One event that stood out to me that was outside of my placement, took place during a seminar exercise. We had to go out onto Woodward and observe the community from different spots. While I was observing, many people greeted me with a hello or a compliment. I just thought it was so nice how they did not even know me and still were willing to speak to me. Also, it was really great that they were interested in what we were doing as we stood in our different areas.
