Service Learning Project
For my service learning project I did my volunteer was San Jac food pantry .San Jac food pantry feeds hundreds of students’ families on each campus. The San Jac food pantry south as been open for 2 years, and is ran by student life, which is locate in the student center. For mine two hours I donated ten cans to the pantry. The skills that I used for this project would be responsibility and discovering self-motivation. Taking responsible on getting my volunteer hours done showed me the positive outcome of giving back. By donating food has motivated me to do more volunteer and get involved with my school. However, I did find it challenging to get in my hours. The hours of actively volunteering such as organizing the

    Children often feel the need to get constant approval from their parents. No matter how indifferent they may seem, they still take deep satisfaction in making their parents proud. In the novel, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, the main character Amir is no different than any other child. He has a constant urge to be praised and recognized by his father. This desire may perhaps be even greater than most children due to Baba’s aloofness towards Amir. Amir goes to extreme lengths to please his father, sacrificing many important things along the way. To please Baba, Amir changes his personality, gives up his own peace and sanity, and sacrifices Hassan. Believing these costs to be worth Baba’s love, Amir easily surrenders them. However, it is not until after he has already given up everything does he come to realize that he has lost much more than he has gained.…

    ~Mahatma Gandhi. Service is to help others in need or not in need. I am excited to try to do even more service in the future. I have many ideas for the school when it comes to service. One idea is to help children in hospitals by just making them something like a card or decoration. My dad is working with a company that is rebuilding St. Peter’s Hospital and I know that some of the kids in the children’s section of the hospital would love something to cheer them up. Right now for service I give my old clothes and toys to my younger cousin and if she doesn’t want them, we take them to the Salvation Army. Also like I had mentioned in the first paragraph we donate over three or four hundred dollars a year to the WGY Christmas wish organization. That money goes to poor families so the parents can buy presents or food for their children. I know I need to work on this skill in particular but I have many good…

    If I were to do this project over there would be many things I would have done differently. I would have gotten started earlier on the project, also would have tried to make myself more useful, for a lot of things I was not there for. Not only because of my work schedule, but because my group had only told me about two thing we were doing. That was going to Houston to interview Le, and a meeting at corner bakery going over everything. The meeting I was unfortunately unable to attend because of work. But I myself thought that the 20 hours…

    Service learning is a valuable way for students to engage with their communities. When tasked to incorporate a service learning activity into my English class I was faced with a few difficulties. Language Arts standards are very complex and cover many different areas including: reading, writing, speaking and listening. Service learning lends itself readily to the speaking and listening areas, however, I decided that I would attempt to build a unit that enriches student learning in all four domains of the English/Language Arts curricula. The following unit, which I titled the “Changemaker Unit,” is the result of this process.…

    The Freshman Service Project is the first service that I have ever done in my life. Although I have volunteered to help in local events and charity organization occasionally throughout high school, those can’t be classified as a service. Unlike volunteering, which only benefits the recipients, a service benefits both parties, the helpers and the people that we are helping. The Freshman Service Project in my opinion is a brilliant way for us college students to give back to our society.…
