I know why I’m learning
this and I care about it, too.
We meet people in our community
who are affected by our project.
I know I have the experiences and skills I need for
the future.
I feel like my classmates understand me and we’re
working toward a common goal.
I’ve hit an obstacle that I
need help to overcome.
