I woke up both excited and sad that it was my last day of
project. I wrote cards to Hrishue, Kate and Erin, and then picked up three
macaroons for each of them from a bakery in university circle on my way to
Jumpstart. Today they wanted me to present what I found from the Cleveland
report. I spent the morning turning my report into a power point. Then I presented
what I found to Hrishue, Kate, Erin, Kevin and Matt. I presented them all my
findings and got some good feedback, they said the only thing I could improve
on was including a stronger “so what?” some of my statistics. Overall from my
Cleveland report, the main takeaway that I had was that Cleveland is a city
losing its younger population, but is also a city that has a lot of resources
to take advantage of. This could be a good thing, because someone here really
can make themselves a big fish in a small pond. At the same time it is a bad
thing because the pond here might be too small. All the people that listened to
my presentation are young themselves, so after we had almost an hour long
discussion of why young people are leaving Cleveland, and my young coworkers
shared what brought them back to the
city.
