I believe that pregnant and parenting teenagers in Trenton should be involved in the design and implementation of the program.  Involving community members could encourage more teenagers to enroll in the program, give the clients’ and residents a sense of contribution and importance, and improve the attendance rate at Project TEACH. 

The most important thing I learned during the project is the importance being persistent yet tactful with agencies or organizations one is working with.  I also realized that eight weeks is a short length of time to develop and conduct a research project; but with patience and perseverance, it is possible.  I am honored to have been a part of the project and look forward to such opportunities as I continue my college education.
