Last Saturday I had the opportunity to go to Stewart Park and contributed to a project. That was my first time to build a playground.

The number matters a lot in this project.  The number of people volunteered to help, the number of hours they estimated to complete the project; most importantly, the amount of effort volunteers put in. What I learned from this experience was that no matter how hard the project is, as long as the members are on the same page and plan accordingly. It is easy to collaborate and get it done.

Another rose scholar and I used a chainsaw and a drill. He had experience using both and assisted my learning of both power tools. Although we encountered some difficulties, we figured the solution together by trial and error and the help of a worker.
