I just recently moved to Lewiston, so I don't know too much about like, what the community needs and how I can help the community as a student here at Bates, but in my time here, I've seen how beautiful the trees are, and I'm not from too far away, and in Boston, trees change like this, and it every year. It symbolizes hope for me, because the trees, they go dormant, and then they come back in the spring, and they're beautiful, and they're beautiful all summer, and then in the fall, they're beautiful. They're the most beautiful in the fall, and then it's over, and then they come back the next year. And I feel like that's really hopeful. Like, even in times of struggle and in times of like sadness, we come back as people do.
