DASHIELL’S GARDEN

PROFILE

I want to work at the garden because: I believe that working here will provide me with some great work experience and some good practice working with other people.

Two of my personal goals for working at the Dallas Youth Garden this summer are:

  1. I would like to get much better at gardening.

  2. I would also like to work on my social skills.

Two things I hope to learn from working at the Dallas Youth Garden are:

  1. I would like to better manage my time, as it is an issue i have had in the past.

  2. I would also like to better learn how to work independently, as that is a very important part of having a job.

I think my biggest challenge will be: Managing deadlines.

My favorite vegetable or fruit is: Carrots.

I hope to contribute this to the garden this year: A bit of muscle and hopefully a little morale.
