Our Session With Missy.

I felt as though our session was very informative. We were able to get an even more in depth feel of her passion for the community. To know that her work with them stemmed from being in our situation at one point really made it feel more personal. It was good to hear the ideas from classmates and to get her viewpoint on them because she has a feel for what the community tends to respond to and what works best with them. I loved the ideas that we'd come up with because they all incorporated involvement amongst different community members. I also had the chance to envision some of our thoughts coming together. Missy brought up very valid points in terms of turning hope into a more concrete idea and also having the community not feel as though handouts are all that they should be receiving. Her point of saying that if she were to do the clothing drive again that she would have some sort of fee shows that she has gone through a process of trial and error with her first go being a success but learning from what was done and thinking about modifications to be made should an attempt be made to do the same thing again. Her spending time with us was very valuable because she serves as a liaison between us and the community members. She is also a good contact for us to use along the way even if just to run ideas by.
