My Service Learning Experience

Learning is supposed to be more than just the stereotypical perception of sitting in a classroom and getting lectured by the professor. Going into my First Year Seminar class I honestly did not know what to expect. I was initially nervous that this class was going to forcibly push me out of my comfort zone, and it did, but in a way that was exciting and comfortable for me.

There is never a day where you do not learn something new, whether it is educational related or discussing a topic that pertains to our life experiences. I honestly enjoy the connection between the class and the professor. I love how our class lessons are taught in a more hands-on aspect because I learn better that way. Throughout the semester, my overall learning experience was broken down into four categories: course learning experience, service learning experience, my Type Focus assessment results, and the profile of my chosen major and career.

I also have friends who help keep me on track. They definitely are an important factor when it comes to my college
