At school we had community service, and the Donnelly advisory went gleaning. Do you know what gleaning is? Gleaning is picking potatoes after the field has been plowed by a machine. We went to a farm outside of Raleigh. We were picking potatoes for the Society of St. Andrew. We were there for two hours. It was pretty fun at first, finding the potatoes, seeing which ones were the smallest, and which were the largest. After an hour it was kind of tiring, doing the same thing over and over again, but now I know how hard farmers work, and they work for hours and hours. We only worked for two hours. In the end, we did pick a lot of potatoes, and I hope the food bank in the community is happy with them!
