...it was one of the best weeks of my life. I honestly couldn't imagine what this week would be like before arriving at Tilden. Many people highlighted Tilden's bad reputation, its lack of order, and other various reasons as causes for concern while there. Although these factors could be seen throughout the school, I think it is safe to say that there is hope for Tilden. Working with the students this week showed that many of the students do care about school and with a little push, they can succeed. Even though we would certainly like to be there longer, I think it was important for us to be there for them, as the students could see what they could be in a few years, if they put their minds to it. It was great to see that when Joy asked a class how many of them want to go to college, the majority of the kids raised their hands, even yelling out some names of universities. To end, as James said in one of our reflections, "there is hope in a hopeless place," and that's what keeps us going as a team. I couldn't have imagined doing this with better people and as a freshman, I feel like if I were to do another AB experience, no team could beat this AB Philly family. Till next time.
