Workplace Observation Report
For my service hours, I focused on my issue on the treatment of the animal and volunteered at Bunny Bunch in Orange County. During my time there, I helped around with Carolina, the person in change, doing any task need. Some examples are bagging hay, sweeping the cages for bunny dropping and hay, filling up water bowls, and stocking inventory. One day during Sunday, it was happy hour, so over 20 bunnies were brought into the bunny shelter to interact with each other. All I did was to make sure the bunnies behave, moving some away with a broomstick, and in the end, it was fun.

I am not inclined to work that is repetitive nor uninteresting as it is not as exciting. Working in a bunny shelter allowed me to help in a variety if actions and at a time, even teaches me something informative. I find that it is what community service should have, something that impacts the helper in a positive manner. For other future service hours, I would ideally do something that involves a skill I have and I am good in such as something which would involve my artistic skills or scientific knowledge. One example would be teaching children to draw and paint at an after school program. Another is a service project that anyone can do which would be taking care of the wildlife and greenery in the urban city. This would require my knowledge on ecology. This would also be attracting to me because I am interested in plants and taking care of them. My last example would be washing graffiti from the walls of Fountain Valley. I had found out that our city has a goal of getting rid of graffiti in 3 days and they apparently spend much money on getting rid of them. If I and a group of people were to go out and wash the graffiti away, it would help the city council deficit budget and in turn, help the city
