Worth Doing? Working with professionals has
been so amazing for me. How we got to
talk to them via Skype and Twitter … just so
cool.
Knowing that people are following what we
are doing and are interested makes me
not want to give up on the app project
When I go home and go on Mrs. Siwak’s blog and sometimes see my name in one of the posts, it makes me feel like I’ve accomplished more.
Being able to contribute to
the app project has made me feel like I was
important.
