I am hoping that this service-learning experience helps me to have a better understanding of the issues we have in our society and understand accurately how to solve those issues. We as a student learn about society’s issues in our textbooks. Usually textbooks explain solutions to those problems; however‚ in reality solutions that we learn in our textbooks don’t simply work the way textbooks explain. As a result‚ I think this service-learning experience is a great opportunity for me to understand

Society places the disabled in a category by themselves‚ as an outcast from modern civilization. We think that if we

I am currently completing my service learning at Martin Luther King Elementary School working with children ranging from Kindergarten to 5th grade in an after school program. This program provides the children with a safe and comforting place to do their homework‚ hangout with their friends‚ and get a snack.

I went to my dad’s house and sat in his office for about 5 hours writing the entire paper‚ while taking a few breaks of course! The office was totally quiet‚ which is one factor that I require
