SAVANNAH’S GARDEN

PROFILE

I want to work at the garden because: Discipline is really important to me. I wanted to work at the garden because I need to keep myself accountable and dedicated to the things I sign myself up for. I enjoy being outdoors and learning new things. I don’t have a lot of experience gardening, and I wanted to explore more of it.

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

  1. Understand more about gardening.

  2. Build relationships with people within the community.

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

  1. Time management skills.

  2. Develop gardening skills.

I think my biggest challenge will be: I don’t have a lot of experience gardening, so my biggest challenge will be getting everything planted and ready in time.

My favorite vegetable or fruit is: My favorite vegetable is the cucumber, because I love making delicious meals, such as cucumber salads, for family and friends. Creating memories through hard work creates long lasting moments in life that are hard to forget.

I hope to contribute this to the garden this year: I hope to contribute a good work ethic, and I want to show that I am dependable. Additionally, I have good communicating skills, and I am productive.
