13 P RODUCT /M ENTOR  I learned that time management is very important. You can’t take on to much at once because if you do you will get every stressed out and nothing will turn out right. I learned if you find your self getting to over worked then you just need to take a step back and chill down. Take a break and relaxed, and then take a fresh look at work you are working on, it helps out so much.

14 P RODUCT  I spent 35.5hours working on this product  I felt it connected with my topic because we were not just learning about social work we also got to help an organization that helps those families. It felt like we made a small impact on a family. Which was a great feeling
