What an amazing journey this project has been over the last 10 weeks! I have learned so much about so many different things, its hard for me to clearly describe all of the emotions that I have felt and am still feeling. What I do know is that Polyhouse is singlehandedly the most worthwhile project I have ever been apart of. The consequences of our failure to the Todd family and repercussions of our mistakes transformed this learning experience into much, much more than just another class. The atmosphere of reality transformed each of us from students into truly dedicated professionals progressing together toward a common goal. Each of us were pushed way beyond our normal limits physically, mentally, emotionally and from this I feel that we have grown a lot as individuals and as a community.
It seems as if it were just yesterday when we first drove to the very first site visit to meet the Todd’s and take note of our blank canvas. Its truly mind boggling to keep track of all the work and planning that went into this project. It just goes to show the communal power of dedicated individuals and the kindness and generosity from our community!
For me, one of the most rewarding aspects of this project as the fact that the Todd family is truly deserving of everything we could do and more. Every interaction I’ve had with Simon, Ruby and the childeren has been a kind and sincere reminder that we couldn’t have chosen a better family! I am honored to be a part of such a great and inspiring project and will never forget the great times I had during this quarter. I have learned so much about myself and cannot thank my fellow classmates and community members enough for making Polyhouse 2010 the great success that it is!
