Reflections+for+Sept.+11th


 * Description:** I had went to the MCJDC, and helped them in pulling weeds around the buildings. I then went to Reagan Park, and cleaned up trash around there.


 * Specific Duties and Observations:** At the Medina County Juvenile Detention Center, me and a group of other kids spent about an hour and a half picking up trash and pulling weeds so that the buildings looked cleaner and neater. The flower beds and the grass surrounding the buildings there were disguistingly dirty, and we took our time to clean them and weed them. After that, we traveled to Reagan Park, where we found a ridiculous amount of trash surrounding the land there. A person named Aaron in the group and I were told to clean the baseball fields. The garbages in the dugouts were overflowing, the dugouts them selves stunk and had bottles all over the place. After an hour, we were only done cleaning three fields.


 * Impact:** I feel that had we not cleaned up Reagan park, then it would still look as dirty today as it did before. It seems to me that the community of Medina preaches that we must have a cleaner ecosystem, but does nothing in return to clean it. Plenty of my friends openly litter, as do a high percentage of people in our community. Without community service workers, our town would be filthy.
