Service Learning Refelction #3

For my service learning, I have worked in the ROOTS garden more. My jobs were to weed and replant some plants. My service learning has helped me to better understand the sheer amount of work it takes to grown your own food but the fulfillment one feels from eating food that they played a part in growing. The act of gardening and the sense of accomplishment you feel with it cannot be proven in research, it takes actual work to understand it. Personally, I have grown in that my green thumb has defiantly become better, but also I have a deep respect for people who garden and work with their hands everyday. Even after one shift at the garden I am exhausted, and it was only for like 3 hours. I hope that my civic duty has been fulfilled in that I now know and respect the people who do this. In the future, I hope to help in the garden more, though with my schedule next semester that looks like it will be difficult to do.
