My Service Learning Experience Essay

Even though my service learning was required, I was able to gain valuable information from the eighteen hours that I volunteered. Having been able to volunteer at Sky Oaks Elementary was not only a great experience but also gave me a greater understanding of Sociology (the concepts that we learned in class).

Going into the rotation, I was somewhat bitter that I would be losing 3 weeks of my time to work in a setting I already have been working in. By the end of the rotation however, I did end up gaining at least some valuable experience and insight that I did not receive in my previous work experience. In this…

When asked to be a participant of Student Service Learning I was very excited. I realized that I could help my community through my most familiar environment, school. After researching what it means to serve as a student there came a greater meaning to what I would be participating in. I want to base my service off of Maryland’s Seven Best Practices of Service Learning; and so far I think I have. Working in a classroom is much different than I thought it would be. In the short amount of time…

While completing this…

The class consisted of usually around nine or ten adults aging around twenty-one to fifty or sixty year olds.

The class was in need for more native English speakers to assist with the learning process of the students. Even though there were not that many students, I had…
