(1) Write a brief reflective paper (double-spaced,1-3 pages) on this reading. Immerse yourself in any part of the story's actors described in the article that you like best. Address the following questions in your reflections: (a) Have you been directly involved in any similar social action within a community? (b) If so, how did you feel in terms of self-satisfaction that you had even a small part in the betterment of others? (c) If not, what would you do to help your neighborhood, if it was similar to the one on Dudley Street? 

(2) Conclude your reflection paper with a final paragraph on the lesson you learned through this Dudley Street Initiative and its actors, answering this question: Considering my personality type and my likes and dislikes what will I most likely do to foster social capital in my community?
