Project Wrap Up- Where did the time go?

As the semester comes comes to an end, Shandra and I have put together a scrapbook to give to Mrs. Robeldo to keep. Shandra took pictures of all their properties and I cut an overview of each home with a description. We also created a family tree that listed both their parents, their siblings, their children, grandchildren and great grand child. We included family pictures thanks to Dr. Gilbert, pictures of the neighborhood and school, a brief time line, and put it all in the memory of Mr. Robeldo. The presentation had similar information with an addition of brief overview of the 1920 Austin City Ordinance, and a definition picked by Shandra and I of what gentrification is. After our presentation was over, we took a picture with Henrietta and she thanks us for our work and even invited me over to her house sometime. I couldn't be happier with what this course brought to me and I hope to continue be involved in projects like these in the future and for the rest of my life.
