Personal Narrative: My Experience To Open House Nursey School

Superior Essays
For my second service learning experience, I decided to offer my services to Open House Nursey School, located in 318 Warren Street, Brooklyn, NY. I decided to come around 9 am, so I could have enough time to spend with the children. Before all the children have lunch and nap time around 12 pm to 1pm as Eileen told me over the phone. On my way to the Nursey School, I was quite nervous about how everything is going to turn out because I never been to a preschool with so many kids in one room and thinking about if the teachers and children will like my company from a total stranger. I was a little lost on my way because I took the wrong way, but I eventually found the building, the front of the building looks so new and in good condition and the security is good too, which you have to ring the bell before you enter the building.
When I arrived at the nursery school, there I was greeted by the receptionist named Nyeasha and Eileen. They were so nice, warming, and friendly, which they made me feel so welcomed. After they greeted me the receptionist explained on what will I be doing and said I could take notes and observe the children, showed me where the

I also learned that I have a lot of patience with kids, with all the running around, pushing and screaming they do. This service learning experience helped me better my communication skills with children and as well as with life lessons like how they are not judgmental with each other and they forgive each other quick then became friends again. Which taught me that I shouldn’t hold grudges so much and forgive people for the mistakes they have done because life goes by quick, which I shouldn’t let that ruin the relationship I have with people. They also taught me that not everyone is the same, but can still be friends and communicate with each other even though they like different

    I think I learned that many times we won’t be able to tell if a person is dealing with something traumatic in their life by the way they look and act. This experience also taught me that sometimes in the social work field you have to think quickly and efficiently. While we didn’t have much planning time to prepare for the event, I personally thought it went well considering the time constraint. I think this is an important skill for social workers to have because many times we will have clients and agencies test our ability to think and prepare quickly. Lastly I also learned that when young adults or children are exposed to college or even the idea of a higher education it really gives them the chance to consider…

    When volunteering at West Minnehaha it made me realize things that I didn’t pay attention to before going in. The point was to build relationships, problem solve, what to do in a conflict situation, and step outside of my comfort zone. I learned how to do every single one of those things. I realized that the kids are in need of someone who they can look up to and a dependable person who they can count on. For example, I was looking after a few kids that were doing homework and when walking around I hear a conversation of two kids.…

    Scraping your knee on the sidewalk, getting hit hard with the basketball, falling off the monkey bars, these are just a few examples of ways you can get hurt at school. The worst case scenario is you would end up going to the school nurse as a result of an accident. Before first grade, suffering an injury was way out of the norm for me. The only time I got hurt in first grade, I bypassed the school nurse and went straight to the hospital. It was a scalding August afternoon, and I just finished another tiring day of first grade.…

    Transitioning from an LVN to a Registered Nurse When I was in school to become a Licensed Vocational Nurse, I had not planned to continue on to become a Registered Nurse. I felt that being a LVN was going to be enough. The truth is that I was afraid of the responsibilities that being a Registered Nurse carries. Once I started working I saw that the Registered Nurses on my unit were responsible for a set of patients just like I was. At the time I could only see small differences in what they were doing and what I was doing.…
