It’s hard to believe it’s already week 9! DCERP has been such an amazing experience! It’s been so amazing to learn from the community and just become a better person. I’ve gotten the chance to learn more about the LGBTQ+ community, and in doing so, I feel like I’ll be able to better support my friends who are a part of the community.
I’ve also had a great time learning more about Detroit. Even thought I’m from the suburbs, DCERP has given me the chance to spend almost every day in Detroit, and learn more about what the city really has to offer. From the DIA to the riverfront to seeing the 4th of July fireworks on Jefferson Avenue, I’ve had a great time.
Looking back, I’ve gotten to experience so many different point of views and learn from so many different people, beyond what I initially thought I would. And while there has been many ups and downs with the program, I’m very grateful to DCERP for allowing me to experience this amazing opportunity.
that’s so great to hear that DCERP was also a great experience for you! And that’s so cool you were able to see fireworks in Detroit!
