Final Blog Summit

Summit Park is over and with it community service at Boyd comes to the end. For the last day we make the kids play games and gave them candy. It was sad to leave them after building  a nice relationship, I will always remember the kids at Boys; Cody, Antonio, Jairik, Jonathan, Carlos and Keandre. All this kids made an impact in the group life and create new experiences that in my case never thought I could experience.

Since the beginning of the semester people have give us the support necessary to keep this project up, people such as Courtney Swan and Andrew Foley were major contributors to make this project a  success. At Boyd elementary school there we difficulties with the kids behavior because the kids are very young  so they dont have alot of manners and they want to be playing most of the time.

With time the kids start building more trust in us and start behaving better and telling them their experiences. At the end of this community service we create a strong relationship with kids. I think the project was a success because every member of the group learn new experiences and became a better person.

Issues in the community

It almost end of the semester now and the group is happy to be working with the kids of Boyd educational center. Even though the experience has been wonderful there also have been several obstacles and issues that I will like to address. The children that we work with have come from not common families, they have come from difficult situation in their parents life or just with problems that any kids should have. I have learned from the kids that their life is difficult and still they smile and enjoy life. I admire the kids because of the way they think, some will say is selfish and other will say that is unconscious but the think I take into account is that the kids are happy.

The problem I want to address is that most of the kids parents don't care for their kids development. Once we got to teach in boyd we never receive a letter back from the parents, our partner in the project, Andrew was the one who convince all the parents to sign the sheet required us to teach there. If the parents would put more effort and attention for their children most of the children wouldn't have problems. 

Danny Loza Projects Description

My summit Park project is based on three people, in which our task is to help middle school kids to create a good perspective toward studying and how important is to get an education in this day. My group works in Pipkin middle school in Springfiled Missouri. Most kids in this school come from a poor family and dont have good grades because they cannot focus in school. We gather the group of kids that seem unhappy and they appear not having any interesting in school because of their problems. We want to create a new experience for this kids, not only show them that education is important but to make them fill protected and create a good experience toward high school and college. My group has been talking to several kids over lunch and we are very excited to get to know people that need our help and support.My summit Park project is based on three people, in which our task is to help middle school kids to create a good perspective toward studying and how important is to get an education in this day.
