Hi, my name is Makaila. My experience at Fresh Pond Day was interesting. I wasn’t even planning to come. I was pretty nervous at first and because of that I didn’t really want to participate but I decided to take a chance. I went up to a few people attending the event and invited them to participate in our project. It was almost like my nervousness actually convinced people to participate. I realized approaching people wasn’t that bad. After a while I got used to it and apparently good at it because whomever I asked to participate said yes! There were very few people who would say no and the ones who did actually changed their mind after I explained the project.
While working at Fresh Pond I got to meet Ellen Semenoff, who is a very important person in our community along with Councilman Leland Chung! I also got a chance to excel as leader in this project and overcome my nervousness.
