6  I worked the first day of the project, which took place right after the house had been assembled.  During the Blazer Build we worked in the warehouse, organizing & preparing the material for the build.  We also did small task around the outer perimeter of the house, as well such as set up power tools so they could begin putting up the interior walls. The Happening!

7  I was slightly disappointed in the service learning project because we didn’t physically work on the house  Working on the house is what I had in mind when I was first told about the project  I was also disappointed because we didn’t meet the family in whom we were building the house for. My Opinion (cons)

8  The positives about the service learning project is that we were able to give back to the community.  We didn’t have to do the project individually. It was good that we could work as a program.  It gave VSU a good look on how the athletes are involved in the community My Opinion (pros)
