- 14. “I first joined Rocking the Boat because being able to build boats is really different from a regular afterschool program where all you do is homework. I got to do something out of the ordinary. Now when I’m in the shop I feel like I can let out that inner woman who wants to build. That’s where my passion for carpentry shows--working the wood, figuring out how the grain goes together, that’s what I need.” http://www.rockingtheboat.org
