Week 7 Project BLT

Continued Growth



This has been a great week for our plants, with all of the sunshine and great weather we have had here in Pullman our plants have been able to flourish. Its roots seem to be digging itself deeper and deeper anchoring themselves in to soil rich with nutrients. Every week the stem grows stronger, you can see that as the weeks pass the stem seems to grow thicker preparing to bare the load of its fruits that it will carry some day (hopefully soon because there really isn’t that much time left in  the semester). The leaves of our plants have become more prominent, stretching out to touch the sky, like tiny hands reaching to catch every last bit of nutrients from the sun.

This week has also been a great week for me as well. I too feel like my roots have finally begun to dig deeper in to my education. By speaking with my advisor I have found myself a major and I have found what it is exactly that I am striving for in college. I have found my light at the end of the tunnel. Though the light at the end of my metaphoric tunnel is now just a tiny speck, it gives me something to work for instead of feeling like I’m just here to be here I now have a goal to shoot for. With my new major in mind, I plan to use the knowledge that I obtain from all of my college courses to become an outreach counselor for troubled urban youth and to help them to not only find their goals, but to help them achieve them.
