The Youth
- I am more self-sufficient and more knowledgeable, therefore it's easier to lead others to success.
- I've learned many new leadership skills in the time I was here. I've learned to be patient with groups; not everyone learns at the same pace.
- You need teamwork to be successful in the camping trips in TAH. So, I learned to work with others.
- Being patient is the key to working cooperatively and as a team member.
- I've been learning how to deal with people and also I've gotten better at staying healthy.
- I've learned a lot and how to work with my peers cooperatively by listening to what my team has to say.
- My organizational skills have increased because I have had to organize my time in the week to finish all my work.
- I have learnt to prioritize my time to get more work done since the beginning of the year.
- I didn't care for school at all before, but now I do and I can't believe I did that ten-day camping trip!
- I now feel that school is a positive and comfortable learning environment.
- I go to school a lot more than before TAH.
- I see myself better than I used to. I used to feel like I was going nowhere but there's a chance now for me to be successful.
- I feel better about myself.
- I see my community as an important resource.
- I am a lot more friendly towards the community. TAH taught me that everybody is interesting and can be fun. It let me learn to be friends with people I usually wouldn't be friends with.
- I thought volunteering was dumb, but when I did all the volunteering it felt good.
