How to Reflect

The Mirror: What have I learned about myself through this experience?
I learned that I am not a very social person and that I stereotyped alot of people, and how wrong I was.

The Microscope: What more needs to be done?
Alot of more things can be and need to be done about the health of our city. By health I mean the sanitary issues. The homelessness, the poverty, the trash, and the damaged properties.

The Binoculars: How will service learning change your future behaviors/attitudes/and career?
Service learning will further help me to be more open to other people and there needs. Also it will help me to know the needs of my people and my city so whatever career I get into I could help.

Independent Service Learning

For my independent hours I did four things. First thing I did was to feed the homeless on Somerset. I was a little nervous about doing this because I never had to come into contact with a homeless person like before. Than I helped my aunt with her garden. This was hard work because we had to empty all the trash, pull weeds and grass out, remove all the rocks, plant the new flowers, and put soil and mulch down. That day it was really hot and we were on the sunny side of the street. Another activity that I was involved in was to sell water on the corner of Arimingo (very busy intersection). It was raining and my hair got all messed up but I needed to get my hours in. I also babysat my beautiful little cousin for a couple hours, while his mom and my mom went shopping. I must admit he is an angel so it wasn't that hard.

Wed. Service Learning

Last week during the 90 min. service learning, we went over the improvements that needed to be made in the power point that was going to be presented about our project. Mrs. Klosed showed us the pictures from New Orleans. She put music to the pictures. As the pictures get bad the music gets really sad. It took us through emotionally and visually.
