Answer 1

Excerpt from: The Helping Hands Wellspring
Clark Benson

As she took a slow walk back to her office, Lucia thought about how her decision to attend a local university had been directly tied to her desire to continue improvements in her community. She remembered walking into her internship at an urban development company, full of city planning ideas and hope. As she walked, the city’s public park came into view, filling Lucia with a sense of satisfaction and pride. Though she’d had much help, the public park had been her baby. It had started small, with a few benches, a swing set, a sandbox, and a modest fountain. Over the years, it became a community hub, a gathering place, a spot where neighbors could meet for various events and activities. It also became a place where young people eager to help the community met to brainstorm ideas for further improvements.
