SERVICE LEARNING

We had our Service Learning at Barangay Onyx in the city of Manila. We were required to have 8 hours in doing our Service Learning. In this service learning I’ve learned a lot, experience new things, and realize that I can do things that I didn't think that I can do it.
The clean-up drive’s mission is to clean the neighborhood or the whole barangay. One of our objectives is that the community (barangay) will have a clean place to live in because technically that is the main purpose of us cleaning their community. The community that we selected must not know that we are students of St. Scholastica’s College manila. We are just there to clean the community and help them by doing the one that we chose to do which is the clean-up drive.
In our 1st day there was unexpected incident that happened it was when the cleaning equipment’s were not enough for the seven of us. So, we decided to buy there in the nearest market that we can go. It was nice to see the seven of us help each other out in cleaning the community because that is the only time that you can all of us working hard to helping out the community to have a clean environment. We mean of having a clean environment is to lessen the trash that is caused also by us the human beings. We must learned to do what is morally good that can benefit many people like throwing our own trashes in the right places the trash bins and not just throw it anywhere it may cause pollution to us and it may block drainage that may cause floods. We must think before we take actions because we must live in doing what is morally good and we human beings must act accordingly based on the concept on what it is to be a human being.
In doing the service learning, we may experience hardships at first but when you realize that you’ve helped out a lot of people because of what you’ve done you’ll feel this “self-fulfillment” that we are talking about in our Philosophy class. As I’m doing this paper I will relate some of

    In 1989, a small group of committed volunteers from the Seattle King County Land Trust established Forterra, a land conservation organization based on their mutually held belief that conservation efforts should embrace the combination of private organizations and public action. Since then, this organization has made significant environmental contributions throughout the state of Washington and continues to promote environmental justice. ForTerraʻs primary vision is to preserve all aspects of the environment, not only designated sections of pristine, undeveloped land. This vision derives from the biological reality that all forms of life are interdependent, and that in order for us humans to thrive, all other living parts of nature must thrive…

    Ever since I was young, I was always interested in the idea of helping people other than myself. I never knew the actual meaning of truly helping another person until October, 2010, my freshman year. My resolve for helping others sparked into a flame when I visited a church in San Jose where I experienced something that would completely change my life. At this church, there was an organization called Milal that helps take care of people with disabilities. It was in that place that I was able to learn the true meaning of helping others.…

    ~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…

Because I am going to work as an ELL/Bilingual Polish teacher, I decided to tutor an ELL student to help her prepare for a science test.…

    Coming into the project I was looking forward to interviewing a veteran, at first I really wanted to interview a World War Two veteran. I thought it would be very cool to sit down and hear an untold story of a true American hero that fought in one of the most memorable, and one of my favorite wars. But as I continued to search for a World War Two veteran I couldn’t find one so I joined groups with Tyler, Jose, and Mauricio. They had then told me that we would be interviewing Tyler’s stepdad, who was currently enlisted. Of course my dream of interviewing a word war two veteran was tossed out of the window. Then I had thought about it and to hear the story of a national hero that is serving in the War on Terror currently would be pretty cool. Although I didn’t get my World War Two veteran, I was still pretty stoked about hearing our veteran’s story.…

    Service learning is an education method that is used to provide the student with the ability to discover themselves, become productive and helpful citizens, and to gain academic knowledge while doing so. I think service learning is included in this course because it helps us to become more connected with our surroundings. Great teachers are active in there community and know the struggles that the community faces and wants to help. When a teacher understands her community she can better understand her students. Also, I think it is included to teach us that we can always find time to do what is important. Quite often we trick…

    On the first day of school, I went to Brush Creek with a chunk of the freshman to help clean out the trash from Brush Creek. We split up into groups of nine and went to different parts of the creek and cleaned out all of the junk that got in there. Cleaning out the creek is very important for the community because it helps keep animals safe. Although all of the principles from the Grad @ Grad apply to this, committed to doing justice is a key principle in this activity. I learned a lot about how litter can affect our earth and how much litter there is. You can tell how important cleaning the creek is by finding out that Kansas City has started a 25 year, $2.5 billion project to fix the sewer and drainage systems so trash from other places doesn’t…

    Our first SMART goal was to increase the sets or repetitions for the participants each session, but it unfortunately was not achieved. We noticed they were bored with the repetitiveness of the same routine, which brought us to devise a plan to get them better motivated. Instead of traditional weightlifting and cardio, we implemented sports equipment, such as soccer balls, volleyballs, and kickballs, and changed the workout routine a bit. Once we changed it and made a new SMART goal, we measured the progress by making sure the participants were actively motivated for at least thirty minutes of the session. We started with making sure they could stay active for fifteen minutes, and then the next session for twenty minutes, until we reached our goal of thirty minutes. Each week we saw an increase in their motivation and performance after we gave them encouraging remarks for their accomplishments in games that we took part in as well, like…

    Another great way to make sure we keep our neighborhood clean and green is to pick up garbage we find in ditches and highway. This purposes is keeping our Earth healthy. Ways to keep the highways clean are being cautious trash is not thrown out of car windows and going outside to clean up the ditch.
