Dockweiler beach

Hello, my name is Ramon Herman. I attend Cal State Los Angeles as a freshman. For my English 101 class my professor and part of my class gathered at Dockweiler Beach on January 24, 2016 to help participate with the Heal The Bay Foundation. The class and professors met up at 9:00 A.M. and immediately we were handed gloves , trash bags, and a card in which we tally what we find on the beach and started picking up trash . We were paired in groups of 5 or so and walked up and down the beach trying to find any trash on the sand . We found straws, candy wrappers, cigarette butts, pieces of stryofoam and much more. The experience was great because we got an opportunity to help clean the beach  and make it nice. Our readings in class relate to what we did cleaning the beach because we are learning about how beautiful the beaches are and that its very important to keep them clean as possible. Seeing how dirty the beach was made me realize that we need to start caring more about the beautiful beaches that we have and maintain them as clan as possible so we can keep our beaches looking as best as possible
