7. Service Learning

At first I thought service learning was going out and changing lives out in the community. But i was fairly mistaken. Service learning is not only about changing lives, it is simply impossible to change a person's life in just two hours, but it is about making an impression. One that will stay with that person or child that might encourage them to do the same duties that you have done for them. My service project was with playing with children at the playground. At the end of my project, i felt like we impressed not only the kids, but their parents as well. I hope we impressed them well enough that they go out to the playground every now and then and play with the kids in that community. And I hope that the kids grow up to come back to those communities and exibit some of those same duties.
