At the beginning of the school year I didn’t know what my Senior Project would be. I knew that I wanted to do a project that would help other people, but I didn't know where to start. After talking with my teacher Mrs. Bork, I decided to do a clothing and diaper drive for the Family Nurturing Center (FNC).

Now that the clothing drive is over I would like to find another way to help out at the FNC. I don't really know what I would do at the FNC, so I need to talk to Colette about whether I should do another drive or if there is something else I can do to help at the
