When the opportunity came to find community service hours for my Human Growth and Development class, I knew I wanted to help out somebody who works hard to provide me safety. I talked to my dad after finding out I needed hours and he advised me to talk to the sheriff. The sheriff told me that he would gladly appreciate my help and he decided on a task for me: washing patrol cars. I thought that washing cars seemed like an easy enough task.

For my service learning, I chose to work with my old elementary school teacher, Ms. Simon, who works in the AAP department. I also happened to meet a new teacher, Ms. Maloney who works with special ed. kids. I helped them get work done around their room.
