I helped at and attended a pride event during June 2021 at a local Holliston bookstore, Aesop's Fables. I assisted and donated to the fundraiser for a former GSA member's top surgery, as well as listened to speakers about their experiences either in the LGBTQ community or as parents to LGBTQ kids. It was profound to listen to people share their stories and create an accepting environment that started a conversation about identity and sexuality. 

In my Botany and Suburban Homesteading classes, I have been able to grow my own vegetables, herbs, and flowers and experience the responsibility and work that goes into it. I also learned how to make my own garden supplies like pots and trays out of old plastic cups, which has helped me and my family and friends reduce our waste.
