GoodBye For Now From Quaisan P.

This has been an overwhelming journey. For the past 5 weeks, we learned how to build, plant, and how to work with others. The class "Go Green" teaches us more about our environment, and taking step by step to learn the basics of going green and saving the earth. This environmental class has showed us how to plant, recycle, and other sources of 

making the world a better place.  

                                                                   Thank You, Quaisan P.

Goodbye For Now

For the starting of this program I began a week after. When I came we were painting outside in our backyard with green and yellow paint in a pattern like way. After a few weeks pass we started to paint water bottles so that we could put the plants that are growing could go in there. After we went into another room to build boxes so that the plant could fit. My favorite part of this program was when we painted out side. I say this because it was very fun and every one came together to do something that they all liked even though we got some paint on us!!!

Good Bye For Now

This past five weeks has been an overwhelming journey full of joy, excitement, anticipation, and finally  disappointing departure.

I can still remember the first day when we were all ecstatic over the thought of what was to come later on in the program. During the program we learned how to save energy, reduce reuse, recycle, how to interact with others, saving the environment and having fun at the same time. I can't wait for next time.

Goodbye for Now....

Wow its over?! Hmm time does fly by fast.... We have accomplish so much from painting for weeks, planting our garden that is filled with oregano, lettuce, sage, and broccoli, building our benches and plant boxes. While working on the green team we have shared some good times and bad times, like visiting (to me) the most beautiful green roof in wall street. Also i have gain a lot from this process, like just one person can make a very big difference in the world....MAJOR CARTER wow she is one AWESOME black woman!! Through out this course one thing thats stuck with me is just one person can make a very big difference with a great mind and heart.
