Sumter County High School, located in the heart of the York, Alabama, is a public institution, that insures an equal educational opportunity for the upcoming generations. This area in particular is, nowhere close to the Taj Mahal in size or in beauty, but the exact opposite: a statistical “ghetto.” There were countless monuments of rubbish developed along the school’s outskirts. No plants breathed and animals feared for their lives, until the School Clean Up Day was invented.
This was indeed a team effort. But as some teams ventured out to attempt to clean the filth form the school, others picked pollution from the little stream. Some planted trees and developed a more acceptable place for the biotic and abiotic features in the area. The teams deleted the derogatory phrases set towards the school and gained much pride.
I love to learn and to share with others what I have obtained. In the spirit of the Apprentice Ecologist Initiative, I share the same inborn fondness for my environment as the other team members and staff. My projected idea for the future of our environment is to have the new office of administration in the White House to implement a bill for the conservation and environmental sustainability of all schools across the American home front. On a smaller scale, I propose that, other teachers, as my adviser once offered, issue extra credit to those students who acquire the effort to ensure the beautification of their learning facility.
I conclude that people the direct deposit of their environment. Rest assure that I am nowhere near filth. I believe that the word help, is a semantic that brings people closer and closer everyday. This place screamed help. Though I am not someone who can fly, and red tights isn’t a part of my own personal style, it was, and still is set deep into my heart to answer that cry. Volunteering is a high for me that, if ever taken away from me, would be like dissecting me with a dull knife and then force my flesh to soak in a salt bath, alive. It is a requirement of myself to have the others around me at least smile, because as Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly,” and I, personally, would like to be affected positively.
