Reflection 

When I first started this project I was really hesitant to go out in my community and try to create a change. I always struggled with feeling confident in myself. Being rejected and put down has always been a big fear of mine. As I slowly began to meet new people and put myself out there, i began to feel more confident within myself. When I first reached out to ECV Pride and set up the interview, I was really nervous and shy. After I introduced myself and my project, I was met with such a welcoming attitude that I realized there was nothing to be afraid of. I did not stop there, I continued to put myself out there to meet new people and make new connections. I got to experience so many new things because of how committed I became to getting involved in my community. The skills and lessons this project have brought me are things I will use for the rest of my life. Overall, this project has allowed me to get involved in my community and make a positive influence on LGBTQ+ youth. I hope to continue to create change and inspire others <3
