The Board Meeting

Outside in the all we were silent. I could here the announcer speaking about about about our project. All I could make out was, "… a group of student… learning experience… character we should be taking example from…" But the message was clear.  Mrs Nast waved us over. We walked in single file into spacious room with a high triangular ceiling. All of the board members were staring at us, smiling. I couldn't help but smile back. We just gave the highlights of our presentation. Most people didn't get to talk. I could tell that the members were very pleased with us. We left knowing that we have changed the community around us. And that character does indeed ripple. We are just kids. We can make a difference in the world.
