I think the discussion we had with Terrance, Kelvin, and Dr. Coogan as a class was really insightful and engaging. I think one of the most impactful things I learned from the discussion was the outward focus that everyone involved with the project seemed to have. they seemed determined to help educate us, and anyone else who read their book, about their lives and their stories. Kelvin seemed the most adamant about this, saying that his main goal for joining the project was to help others from his background avoid going down the path he had gone down before.

I was surprised by the very serious nature our guests, especially Terrance, talked to us with. Personally, that showed me that he was committed to the project and wanted to take every opportunity he could to impart the knowledge he’s gained from his experiences and show us how important the project was to him.
