Privet

Hi! This is Leah Hill and Tess Gates. We’re both sophomores at Centre, and we decided to come on ASB because we love helping out other people. It’s hard to believe that the week is already over. Today was a beautiful day in Atlanta, and we all spent it working with the National Park Service on the Chatahoochee River. The first half of the day we picked up trash along the river, and the second half of the day we cleared an invasive species from the shore.

It was nice spending our last day here working all together, and the difference that our collective efforts made was impressive. It’s always nice to be able to see tangible evidence that our work really made a difference, and as our big, purple bus pulled away today we were able to look out the window and see a nice, clear river shore free of trash and privet. And, of course the nice, sunny, warm weather was a plus, too!
