Raking the Park

The raking of leaves at Raymond Park with the borough president of queens was quite fun. We didn’t only meet the graduated seniors and catch up with friends, but we also gained experience. It was a very unique experience to be helping the government, perhaps not in a large way but something is better than nothing. I began raking leaves and bagging them to put them outside the park for pick up. As time passed, I began to dig with some new people I met named “Kevin” and “Ked”. I’m glad to have met new people, and they made the event interesting. Furthermore, the event was worth the time and effort for the experience. -John Lam, member
