How one class grew from the roots of reading and writing to an urban garden that shapes our thinking about food, community and the journey from the field to the table.



In this class, students are encouraged to reflect and blog about what resonates with them during the work we approach each week. Once a week, usually later in the week, my students submit entries, we go over them and see what will get posted. ~Mary Ann D'Urso, Instructor




"I'm Scared"




Becky Rodriguez

I am sitting here in school, contemplating the week so far. It has been productive. The first day of my Edible English/Interview Project class when Mary Ann was telling the class what we were going to be doing and what she expects from us, I asked myself, "What have I gotten myself into?" When Mary Ann asked the class if we had any questions, I said, "I'm scared."

She said, "There's no need for you to be scared. I'm your guide." I felt relieved because I know that even though she's tough and she makes us write and rewrite and rewrite a paper, she's a really good teacher and she will get the best out of you. As a teacher, she sees the potential of her students. Hard work generates success and success is a journey. So I'm going to respect my journey and work as hard as I can to get the job done.
