The End of a Project and the Start of a New Journey
Authored By:
As we approach our final days with the BAFF students, we decided that a simple blog post will not be able to fully capture their last few days. We have created a video summing up the past two days that the students have had. This video gives a better insight into how the students were feeling while working on their presentations and how they felt afterwards.
The students have expressed how quickly their time in Portland has come to an end, however, as the video captures, these students have worked hard and tirelessly and still manage to be care free and enjoy themselves.
After a debriefing session with their instructors, the students had some free time to start packing for New York. Some headed to the beach for a swim and others went for their daily runs. We concluded our evening with a wonderful barbeque where the students were presented with certificates of completion and shared a few words about their overall experience with the program.
Thank you for watching!!!
