Making a bullying project survey wasn’t the most remarkable part of the survey, but instead seeing freshman connect with other student in taking survey and making other do was one of the most remarkable part of the freshman connection and working as youth leader. As a youth leader, making incoming student know about what they might face in school such as bullying was really significant to me because it allows them to go and ask for help from teachers and counselor regarding this kind of issue.
