" I think the most impactful and
significant experience for me
was at the discussion moments
between us about our project.
It was significant for me to
see children like me who
really care about what I care
about and see that they are
not just for fun but to try to
make a difference, to see that
I'm not alone, and to identify
myself with these people."
