Service Learning

Literal: contact Brenda Bolinger 909-625-8767, x256 to confirm 80 hours of service
she is the volunteer manager of the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Garden. (weekdays no later than 3pm)

Interpretive: Volunteering at the RSABG has exposed me to different experiences. While i work, i assess and observe how this garden works. I go to all orientation meetings for special events and i see how organized things are. It comes to my amazement that i haven't seen any lack of management. Everything goes really smooth and witnessing that really makes me compare and contrast on applying these traits to a community garden. What was really cool is that they sometimes put me at cash register when business is heavy. That alone gives me a taste of working experience and that is always a good on my part.
Applied:
Working at the RSABG has helped me answer my EQ by putting me in that environment where i can assess what is going on in my surrounding. Looking at everybody's job and what makes it so important. I believe volunteering there has helped me a lot because i am there experiencing it first hand. It makes me think about how important my part is to the garden and how me as a single individual can make a difference.
