In preparation part, I feel confused since it is difficult to communicate with 4 non-local students. We do not have common first language to communicate efficiently, so, we can just use English to communicate. My English is not as well as my first language which cannot consistently use an accurate word to express my opinions and feeling. Also, they have

We use our own leaflet and video design to promote our activity. Most of the interviewees said: they will bring food and donate on our food collection day. However, we can just receive a few students to donate the food to us and no staff donates food to us as our target is Polyu staffs and professors. We set Polyu staffs and professors as our target since they have more abilities to donate food rather than students. So, I am shocked after the food collection activity with no staff to donate food to …show more content…

I learnt how to respect each other like respect their culture and experience. My group mates always have some creative and unrealistic ideas, like make a video and ask McDonald to post it in their shop which we have nobody have video making skill to making a video. But, I still respect them, maybe because it is work in their country. Hence, I also learnt how to be a patient person. I tried to explain what we should do and which way is easier to reach our goal with many times. And it also improved my communication skill with different background people.

Next, I learnt how to be a leader as this is the first time for me to be a group leader. In my definition, a leader should provide a comfortable atmosphere and all required material like a project plan, power point, schedule and tool for discussing, promoting and doing the project. Also, a leader should carry out the responsibility for the consequence, safety and keep the project going to a both satisfactory level. I promise myself that try to prepare as best as I can to let them feel comfortable and safety in this subject. For example, I took the responsibility to make the video under the situation with no one know how making it and they want to use it as a promotional

    The Food Bank was the perfect place to offer our services and it was an honor to participate with my fellow peers on this particular volunteer experience. The staff and volunteers welcomed us with warm, open arms. Due to prior registration through one of our students, those arms were overly outstretched. As a class, we had an opportunity to participate in the packaging of the foods that were being donated to those families in need in the Houston area. It was our job to sort these foods in their designated containers. These containers needed to be separated for items such as canned foods, sweets, bottled drinks, and household items just to name a few. Before the rules of engagement were discussed, the people facilitating the whole movement provided us with general rules we needed to adhere to promote the overall experience. In this beginning, proper instruction was given to all concerning the Do’s and Don’ts of doing such a task. This task required us to be active, and to remain on our feet while adhering to a few rules. Ultimately, they wanted to make sure the process would be a smooth one. There were tons of boxes in the back, where we had to go and retrieve them, separating the contents in the bins. After the bins were filled up to the top, we now transferred them to on movable shelves that stacked bins into the back. This process ran smoothly and we had no problems assisting others. As time progressed, we had opportunities to get to know some of the participants when we stopped for lunch. Many of the volunteers who partook in this experience showed the same amount of willingness to help the community as the University of Houston-Victoria students. We all worked as a team and had a great time doing it.…

    The first service learning project I completed was in 2006 which was a participation in tutoring a year six student in the Aquinas College junior school. This tutoring was during winter. After the first week I found it difficult to complete three sport trainings a week (1 in Melville), an after school guitar lesson, a hockey game on Friday nights plus the tutoring program, I thought I was going to have to stop the tutoring and complete service learning in a different area. But after the first week of tutoring I found that tutoring became a priority, I felt that Ricardo found the tutoring much help and seemed to benefit from it. I finished the tutoring program without missing one session.…

    Firstly, I learned that I might not be as unique as I have always presumed I was. Secondly, I have learned that my work ethic, organizational skills and sense of duty have all been with me for some length of time awaiting cultivation. When finally brought to light, they have brought forth success in my work and home life. Understanding yourself and the challenges that await you are ideal, no, necessary for proper growth and expansion both in life and at work. Lastly, it has put me in a position where I can realize what my tendencies are, the psychology behind them and how to deal with them in an appropriate and adult way. Identifying the areas of my life that need work and continuing forward towards a brighter and better future…

    The biggest team I was on consisted of 24 girls and I had t learn how to give constructive critism to each and every one of them, most being completely different. I didn’t realize until now how much this will benefit me in my future work life. I now know how to talk and teach different types of people and how a lot of the time, people learn differently. I know that people like to be spoken to different ways and you just really have to get to know someone to understand them, and try to teach them, and that is all thanks to…

    I was completely surprised that my English class was a service learning course that first day. A surprise that has been good in every way. I love that my learning experience in English has been so much more than sitting in a classroom. Yes, I'm learning about how to improve my own writing and critical thinking skills but I've also had a new appreciation for talking about food. I have even more of an appreciation for the vegetables I'm eating, I've learned about using putting plants together as natural pesticides. I've had the joy of planting new life and clearing away the old.…

    I learned many things, between those… team work, we think that we can do everything by ourselves, but actually we need too much about other people, of what they can give us, of what they can teach us, of what they can correct our mistakes, and of what they can do with us, with a mutually effort. I learned to fight, don´t stop and don´t surrender when you have a goal, a mountain to arrive. I learned to look for the things, all what is necessary to get what you want.…
