The Good of Gardening

 The project that we competed was we went to a local elderly neighbor and knocked on their door and asked if they needed anything done around the house. The women who answered the door said she needed a lot of yard work done. With that, us four completed a couple hours of yard work on her lawn including mowing the grass, rototilling, weed pulling, and planting seeds. Our project impacted the elderly women for completing the tasks that she no longer has to worry about that she may not be capable of doing.

We chose this project because we figured that rigorous yard work could be done, and we were all capable of doing that. We also figured it would benefit an elderly woman most because she doesn’t have to worry about injuring herself or paying young gentlemen to do it.  The project went very well. We accomplished a lot for her and she was very appreciative of it. No one got hurt in the process, and afterwards we all felt great about what we just did.

From this project, we learned that there are many things that always need to be accomplished, and someone could always use an assistant for projects like what we did. We also learned that people are very appreciative for us when we help them, almost like they have more hope for the future than before the project. From a character perspective, it definitely showed us how crucial it is in society that we are assisting in making it a better place. 

This project impacted others by completing tasks that could not be accomplished by someone else for that specific person, and it showed other people that saw us doing these events that there are still people that care about others and society. It impacted us by showing us how such little things can be stepping stones to making everything around better.
