1. As of this date, I have no official experience with the service-learning process. I have a very rigorous schedule between school and work and am finding it difficult to find time where I can pencil in these activities. However, when my agenda becomes less arduous, I plan on helping with the Campus Garden behind Brown Hall.
2. As of yet, the service-learning experience has only taxed my academic growth because I have to cut down on my studying to complete said tasks. However, when I do get to work in the Campus Garden, I am sure I will find the reason this would help.
3. So far, the service-learning work hasn’t helped my social growth partly because I have yet to begin but I imagine it might be a possibility to make friends. I doubt however that this would be an option because I am an “inside girl” and believe I might become rather curt working in dirt and a searing heat. Also, I am not the most outgoing person, nor do I make friends easily. However, I will do my best when the opportunity arises.
4. I imagine the community will be pleased with the work I will put into it. I understand in order to gain the best possible results, one must put in all effort to attain such ends. I will do my upmost to see this outcome comes to pass. I trust the Campus Garden will flourish when I get my hands dirty, so to speak.
5. My service-learning goals for the future are to get all I can from this project and to not stick my nose up at working hard as is my nature. I hope I can be of use to the Campus Garden and to the campus.
Whenever I had my first experience with gardening, I honestly thought that I would just be hot and grimy too. You don't really see how rewarding and fun gardening is until you get out and play in the soil. Even weeding the garden is pretty fun!
