The End of Our Project

This is the end of our Senior Options project. We are so thankful to have this kind of opportunity to help people and become involved in local government. We would like to specially thank Mr. Henry, Emily Kingsley, the Three Musketeers, Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner, Greenburgh Police Chief John Kapica, Sgt. Gillis, George & Kevin from Cable Access, Mel Tanzman, Richard Swierat, Victor Leviatin, Dr. Constantine Andreadis, the students at Woodlands High School, and Yolanda Robinson for letting us have a more in depth exploration of our project. It was a really great experience and we learned a lot more than we thought we would. Although the sidewalk hasn't been built yet, we feel that this project made a big impact on the issue.

We didn't change the world, but we definitely changed ourselves.

Day 33

We devoted this whole day creating our presentation. We made a powerpoint about our project and we worked out what we were going to say with each slide and who would speak. We looked at our second video and found that it was easier to watch than our first video.

Day 32

We began to work on our presentation for school. We were thinking about the different ways we can make the presentation. Things we took into consideration were poster boards, clip shows, powerpoint, and having the Three Musketeers speak.

Day 31

We finished editing our second video. We're really glad about how the second video turned out compared to the first video we created and edited. Sadly, today was also our last day working at the Greenburgh Town Hall. We had to say our goodbyes to everyone we have met and gotten to know.

Tonight, we got a special proclamation awarded to us and several other interns for our hard work and devotion to improving the community. It felt really good to have this awarded to us because it made us feel that people were taking notice of what we have done.

Day 30

Today we were supposed to finish editing our second video, but things didn't go as planned. Instead we emailed disability groups about the project so we what we have done will not be forgotten and will be continued after we're gone.

Day 29

Today was our last radio show. We talked about what we learned throughout the project. We also talked about how the project had changed over the weeks. During the show we met a writer named Joe Queenan. He talked about the effect of documentaries on the media and culture. It was very interesting to hear what he had to say.
