Service

Today I had the orientation for my service. The site of my service commitment is Many Villages at Fairfax in Cleveland Heights. There I will be expected to assist a teacher in anything that she needs help with such as tutoring a small group of children. I am very excited to have my first day of service next week and hope that I will make an impact on at least one student. Along with helping I am sure I may encounter a few obstacles, but those types of things happen in the classroom on the daily. Last semester I did the same type of service, just at a different school and I was able to make a difference. I helped a young boy learn his math and every Monday after leaving there, I felt like I had accomplished something and I hope to do the same thing at Many Villages!

  1. I was able to relate this experience to my last service experiences which then lead me to come to my beliefs about service. My beliefs about service based learning are that it is nessecary because it helps everyone involved grow by hands on experiences. Many different feelings come out of this situation. For example I felt very happy and fulfilled after teaching the young boy math at my last service site. In conclusion, I hope to have the same thing happen at my new service site because it was very rewarding to have these feelings that laast time I volunteered.
