Hello my name is Karina and I would like to share my experience on a little field trip I took to the LA River prior to my English 101 class.  It was actually my first time going to the LA River, so it was exciting to see what the river was like. I was anxious about going to the river since it was my first time and actually doing something good for the community as well. Taking a walk at the river and picking up trash was something new to me. I got to see and understand how we affect our beautiful 

environment around us and how we let it go to damage. Going to the L.A River was a good experience after all. Doing a positive thing for nature & the community.
