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.

6. Trouble In Paradise

MC is a very good place to go to school. You develop more as a person here. I know I have in the last 2 months that I have been here. But i do have a problem with MC. The English, Bible, Psychology, and Sociology department is very good at what they do. From the behavior that they have exibited to me, I come to understand that they actually care for their students. But the Chemistry and Algebra department seem to be careless to me. I came here to learn in a classroom, not for someone to tell me to look in a book and figure it out. I could have did that myself and save bukkus of money and took the online class. I feel like those to departments arent helping, only a dissappointment. Ive experienced revelations in all my classes except those two. I dont know if its me or them, but i doubt its me since three-fourths of my classmates are dropping the class because it is impossible to convience the professors that their way of teaching is not relating to their students. I guess the professors mistaken constructive criticism for destructive criticism. But i don't know, i just hope something change!

5. Crash Course to Adulthood

Time is constantly going by and I think im getting a hang of this college thing. Ive came to find out that MC is more comprehensive than just digestive. You have to understand what you are being taught to fullful the MC standards. That is a bad thing because I have to pay more money for the class when I have to take it over, but it is also a good thing because it is helping me develop into what my calling is in life. I dont know exactly what it is yet but I know it is in the medical field. The student-teacher relationship here at MC is like no other. It feels more like a mentorship kind of program rather than school. The teachers help me not only with school work, but they help me deal with situations that i go through in my everyday life. Its kindof like a crash course into adulthood. I can feel the change developing in me. I feel myself maturing the longer i stay here. Of course it gets hard, boring, and exhausting at times but thats some of the thing that we have to face in life. Coming to MC is one of my best decisions in life, it just took me until now to realize it.
