10:45 am: Hannah and I begin designating roles and begin working on our given tasks
12:00 pm: We grab our lunches from the fridge, and begin to eat our food but if I’m too lazy to make lunch I would go to Marcus Market on Tuesdays and take advantage of their Taco Tuesdays offers

This isn’t what all my days look like but a general sense of what a day in John’s shoes looks like. I would love to thank everyone who made this summer experience possible! Couldn’t have asked for a better community partner! Such a marvelous program! Jack and Julie are the sweetest, kindest, and most hard-working people I’ve ever met!
Thank DFA Team and DukeEngage Team :)

July workshop, such a success! Seeing the smiles from each fellows makes me so happy! Eddie (guy with the glasses) is smiling in the inside :)
After the July workshop, we had to say our goodbyes :(. Jaylen said, " one of the hardest things is saying goodbye." Had to take a quick pic with the bro!
Pc: Kevin Tan This past weekend, I thought I was just going to sleep in and relax, but of course Kevin always has something in his buckle list. We went to Dime Store, a brunch place, and we went Kayaking in Belle Isle!
