In class 5/24

What do you know now that you didn't know in September?

Dear Future WISE Student,
This class began as a way to get away from normal English and try and explore something new, something I had wanted to learn about. Throughout the year I learned an awful lot about myself. I learned that I am far more shy than I thought I was. I thought I could go in to this and be self sufficient while completing this project. But I found through just working on the project and through my mentor that this process is not only about yourself, but being able to open up and accept help from others. My project was to plant a garden. It wasn't doing well, and not being a gardener myself I didn't know why. I realized that this needed outside help to be solved. I couldn't just hope that my garden would do well. For me this project has been about more than learning about gardening. But more so about learning to take the skills I have and apply them to a project. And if those do not suffice, having the ability to reach out and ask another to help. So when you embark on this journey, and it truly is that, you will find that it is not easy. And the only way to solve a problem you have come to a halt on is to seek out someone who may have the answer.
