Dear Damaris, I have a feeling you are going to have a great summer! I know how excited you are to participate in this wonderful program. The DCBRP is full of opportunities to make a difference, meet new people and contribute to this great city. I know Detroit holds a special place in your heart. …
Week Ten Blog – Read the letter you wrote to yourself in your first blog post and write a reaction to it. What have you learned? How have your perceptions or opinions changed? How have you evolved? Did you expectation meet reality? Looking back at the letter I wrote to myself ten weeks ago, all …
SUCCESS!!! In fact, writing this blog and sitting here pensively looking into the distance I can honestly say that I’m pretty satisfied.
