My name is Liauna Kelly, and I am a second-year nursing major at Georgia State University. It has been an honor to be a part of the Honors 3280 Service-Learning course with Dr. Finck this semester. Although I have participated in environmental events on and around campus, it is not something that I have been able to do regularly, or as often as I would like to. I found interest in taking this course because I have always wanted to help out in my community, specifically with the environment, but I rarely had a guide to do so in the past. Thus far in the course, I have learned so much about the environment around us and how it is affected by everything we do. A lot of what I have learned has changed my prospective on many things in my day-to-day life and has allowed for growth in my knowledge of nature. This semester, I have been partnered with Georgia Native Plant Society (GNPS), where I will travel to Stone Mountain Park, with the main focus of brining native plants of Georgia to different locations in and around the park. While being with them, I will be able to expand my knowledge of not only plants and our native environment, but also why having native plants is more important in keeping our environment lively, as native plants are their main scope of environmental work. Partnering with GNPS will also allow for me to bring my knowledge back into my local community and share what I have learned during my experience with them, in hopes to make a change in environmental practices around me. I am very excited to take part in this learning experience with GNPS, and I hope it is something I can continue to pursue even after my time in this course!
