Introduction
The experience I encountered during the service learning project was great. Throughout the weeks allocated for the service learning project, I tutored grade two and grade three students from three different schools under two agencies. The names of the agencies are Lion Catcher and MLK Community Center. The project gave me the opportunity to work with little kids for a long time. This also gives me the privilege to help me to work with people who are eager to work and vice versa. The purpose at which the service learning project was assigned to us was fulfilled. One of the purposes is to work with minorities who needs help. In addition, it is also to organize and improve the way we are thinking about supporting client and the use …show more content…
Also, I made me understand why they need many volunteers to help tutor the kids since education is the top priority of the program. Also, my observation tallied with the problem. It has shaped the way I responded to the situation. They supported my response by making understand why I need to volunteer.

After considering the situation, I had it in mind to continue volunteering, which serves as my goal. Volunteering helps a lot and it will still help and have an impact in the life of people. I value volunteering a lot and I have been working towards it. The service learning is also a way to help those in need. I intervened by tutoring the kids. For those who are not ready to work, I persuaded them and promise them to take them to the gymnasium so as to play. These really help them because they are happy to play which make them finish their assignment on time. …show more content…
The project has expanded the way I think about some things. One of the ways this experience shapes my thinking was that, there are different ways to treat a child who don’t want to work without smacking them. In my culture, if a child refuses to do his or her homework, he or she will be punished with either beating, depriving the child from what (s) he likes. Secondly, I made me think of spending more hours in volunteering which may not be tutoring only, but doing other things like help cleaning, or basically helping at the IU Student Outreach Clinic. While volunteering, I make sure I used the communication skills I was taught in class skillfully to have effective communication. Lastly, it made me think of communicating effectively and clearly to bring better results or improvement in the lives of people I work with or converse with. Now, I know communication does a lot of things. Communication alone is a healing method because once a person speaks softly to an individual in need; it calms the person and suits his or her
