Read the excerpt from Maryam's personal narrative.
The vertical garden that Mr. Lopez taught me how to
build not only changed the way we eat, but it helped my
family spend less on groceries. When the school board
accepted my proposal to start a program to teach
families to grow their own food, I knew just who to call to
help me make it work. Working with Mr. Lopez helped
me speak up about the things I believe in, and I hope that
my ideas about helping our neighborhood have access
to good food will result in a positive change.
