Yes‚ I’m learning about how to improve my own writing and critical thinking skills but I’ve also had a new appreciation for talking about food.

This semester my team and I had the opportunity to participate in community

I am hoping that this service-learning experience helps me to have a better understanding of the issues we have in our society and understand accurately how to solve those issues. We as a student learn about society’s issues in our textbooks. Usually textbooks explain solutions to those problems; however‚ in reality solutions that we learn in our textbooks don’t simply work the way textbooks explain. As a result‚ I think this service-learning experience is a great opportunity for me to understand
