Reflecting on my 6 months at Green City Force, my experience was packed full of information and learning. Throughout the course of the program, I’ve had many pleasant experiences, of which include interacting with my fellow cohort members and making friendships, and distributing produce to residents. The residents were thankful we were helping out their community. It felt good to make a positive change in other communities, giving them a sense that someone is always there to help them out. Before this program, I had to take a break from college to pay for my previous semester. I have had a big interest in plants and nature beforehand, so Green City Force’s goal focusing on environmental sustainability got me interested in the program. From these past 6 months, I’ve gained the knowledge on how to provide food for myself and my family members when it is needed the most and the importance of making and maintaining connections. I am now ready to put myself in the spotlight of hopefully working in the sustainability field where I can shine. I would like to give a special thank you to Justin Baker, Steven Roig, and Roman Martin for guiding me to a sustainable future.
