“I learned some very important things about myself, but the main thing is I learned to give back. I learned how to be a hard worker, how to teach others, how to self-examine, and so much more. If I was not in the class I’m in , and if I hadn’t been in the garden, I wouldn’t be in school. I will continue to grow. When I accomplish my goals, it will be because of this school and especially because of my teachers.”
