How has the service-learning experience changed my thinking, attitudes, and actions towards others, myself and the community?

This service learning experience has changed my thinking,attitudes and actions towards others,myself and the community. previously i was not so involved and not so interested in the plight of those who were lesser fortunate than me.Now , however i feel that ,being better off than others , we must give back to the community by helping others and being involved in community projects such as this. It is or job to help those in need of help in our society to ease their burden.

What stands out as the best or worst thing that happened to you in your service learning experience? What did you learn from these experiences?

The best thing that happened during the service learning experience was the visit to the old folks home itself. It was a culmination of all our previous efforts in fundraising and collection of funds to give to the home. When we visited the home to handover the money and to interact with the elderly, i felt that our efforts had not gone to waste and all our efforts were for a good cause, to allow the home to continue serving the elderly. I learnt that it was a very hard job to run a home and that an effort,no matter how small,can go a long way in giving back to society.

Do you see yourself staying involved in the community during your college and adult years? Why or why not?

 

I do see myself being involved in the community during my college and adult years though it will be harder to do so. With life going on in a faster and more stressful pace it will be harder to find time to give back to the community. Nonetheless i would use whatever spare time i would have to give back to the community as it  s our job to help those who are needy in the community as there could be the chance they are not being taken care of well enough.
