Today was the first day working with Safe Haven Youth since summer session began. I have worked with the youth last semester, so I am familiar with working with them. The youth arrived a little after scheduled time which the coordinator already prepared my peers and I about. The coordinator of this event asked the children to pick someone who they wanted to work with. The children were hesitant to pick one of us so one little brave girl came and picked me. The kids I worked with were very enthusiastic about pulling weeds. When we finish picking the weeds, we moved to the next row and started picking bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, and banana peppers. I am familiar with gardening because of experienced being raised in rural area which my father happens to be the cause of it. The exposure of gardening is essential because this will teach the kids how to planet as well as manual labor.
