WRITING AS SERVICE:WRITING AS GARDENING
Writing, presenting, and publishing research is a meaningful act of community service. Rather than thinking of composition as a painful duty, we can think of writing as a way as sharing and mentoring others. Abstracts are like seeds, conference presentations are like blossoms, and publications are like delicious fruits. Through writing, we can gather in a harvest of knowledge, truth, wisdom, light, and love.
