When I was in my Ceramics and Art class I had a joyful service because I liked drawing and planning things out on paper how I wanted my design to turn out, I like being creative and getting thing right, like to learn from my mistakes and making it even better. People that joined these class is are because they want to be there and we have something in common, and for that reason it made it a joyful service. I like being in classes that we all help each other out when we need it. In math I don't always get some of the math problems so I ask my teacher if she can rephrase it and go even deeper threw the steps so I can understand it much better. A joyful service that I do at work is I help other out, when someone has a lot of menus I help them on keying them in the computer or serving the residents there food. At the end it's a joyful service because we all help to get the job
