I was successful because I was open to everyone’s ideas. It was hard because of course I would have liked to be the leader the whole time but that would make me a boss not a leader. My advisory worked good together and that was the main part of are successfulness in the activities.

Seedfolks Favorite Character
My favorite character so far is Wendell. I like Wendell because he has a true meaning for the garden. I also think he is very kind because of how he treats Anna and will help anybody in the garden. This is my favorite line in the book. ” There’s plenty about my life I can’t change. Can’t bring the dead back to life on this earth. Can’t make the world loving and kind. Can’t change myself into a millionaire. But a patch of ground in this trashy lot- I can change that.” I love that quote because it shows his will power and knowing that he can’t change everything but he can change some things. If Wendell was not there the garden would not become what it is now.
