One thing I noticed when joining One Stone is how much goes on at once. Sometimes it is hard for me to gauge where I fit in. Joining Community Garden through Project Good helped with this. Working with the coaches and other students on our plot of land to turn it into a farmable area has been a rewarding process. Most of the work I have done has been online but the times I have been able to go in person it has always been fun. One event over the last 10 weeks that I got to participate in was apple picking with Project Good. This experience made me feel like I made an impact in the real world and like I had connected with the One Stone community. The good apples we picked went to supplying people without fresh produce in our community, and those that were not so good were turned into cider. One of the things we learned online through an empathy interview was the importance of having fresh produce in your diet. It was nice to be able to do something to help people without access to it. Overall, both apple picking and Community Garden as a whole have inspired good in me and have changed the way I view my easy access to food.
