Reflection

I am Gloria Onwugamba and my values in life is aspiring for things and friendship. Ive learned many things through this expierance and in highschool and in service learning is to maintain time and have a schedulaed procedure. I have always been feeling understanding for elders children with not a strong background and more on. But now I have grown to the next level and feel sympathetic about a lot of things. Well if you asked me 2 months ago what was a community I would have told you that ment a town or neighborhood that shared the same trash day. Now that theory has changed and it means a place where people care about eachother and truly value wherether or not health is high and other aspects of natural life. Well I had many stereotypes but none of them were proven wrong with Service Learning. All children learn at a different pace and I learned that children shouldn’t be labeled DUMB as soon as they cant spell R-A-T. They need time and deliberation and then they can learn like everybody else. Ive always known that children need patience so Service Learning didn’t change that at all. I care a lot about helping the community and fundraising for school purposes. I cant say I challengeged my ideas I can basically say that I did what I knew I could do, maybe next year I will decide whether or not to try harder on helping the community.
