“Being able to work on my Eagle Scout project was extremely satisfying because I really got to give back to the community and help make a positive impact. I enjoyed the experience a lot and it was fun to work with the other scouts in my community to get this done. It was so cool to see the community rally around a good cause in both volunteering and donation efforts…There were many moments where I was like ‘Woah there, I don’t think I can do this in time’ because it was such a large project and I had so little time. My architect also got sick, which left me without help at one point….Thankfully, I was able to reach out to the volunteers at Mikey and Me and in the Chelsea community through online pages and word of mouth…. It was a months-long effort, and it was so nice to have that weight off my back. And while I still have more to do, it should be downhill from here. If I were to do this project again, there really isn’t anything I would change, and while there were challenges, I was able to overcome them…and do so much more than I thought I could.”
