A new experience

Posted by UndeadOverlord on 24 October 2018 in English.

Mapping my neighborhood was very fun and interesting for not only am I helping others but also myself for it is my neighborhood. It was very easy for I know my neighborhood very well so I didn’t have any difficulties whatsoever. As I was mapping my neighborhood through field paper, the only difficulty that I found was that some houses in my neighborhood have two house numbers and I do not know which one to use so just used my guts to choose which house number to choose. Capturing street level imagery was another thing that I used in mapping my neighborhood and it felt very awkward for sometimes there are people watching me take images through my phone but nonetheless it was a very memorable experience.

We are nearing the end of our CWTS++ class and I am thankful for all the knowledge and experience that I gained in this class for I now know a way to help people around the world by mapping. Even as a student, you can already help people that are in need by mapping so I am very thankful to this class. The days that I spent in class was all worth it for I learned new things in every class and to actually use that knowledge while mapping is just so satisfying so I would like to thank our teacher for teaching and introducing to us students the art of mapping so thank you sir. Thank you!!!
