"Being a 300 level allowed me to see what Aaron's Acres was all about. I was assigned to a buddy, which was a great opportunity because I was able to work with a child as well as ease my way into the program before 400 Level work. As a 300 level I got a chance to create different activities used in our session. This was a great help to brainstorm for future lessons as an educator. Overall, being a 300 level was a great experience! After being a 300 level I definitely want to continue in this program. It is an amazing experience that I am so thankful to be given."
