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…

This includes attendance, assigning tasks to my squad member, and motivating…
I have learned so much during my service learning at Emerson elementary and my first semester in the elementary education program at the University of Utah.

I want to continue my pursuit of elementary education because of my service learning experiences. With support, care, good vibes, and a safe place to go each day, every person has the opportunity to…
official. When my childhood home was burgled, the first responders’ priority was to ensure that my family and I were safe. My experience with law enforcement had a positive impact on my life because of the officers’ devotion and dedication to public service and safety. I made an effort to begin devoting my life to public service and be a part of something greater than myself through enlisting in the Oklahoma Army National Guard and working as a Security Officer. I wish to continue with my…
Coming into this class, I assumed that I would be learning about the mental development of kids, but soon into the class, I realized it was so much more. Developmental psychology is a dynamic yet cohesive process that brings about a holistic version of who we are and everything that makes up who we are. We are made up of our personal beliefs as well as the experiences we encounter and challenges we overcome. This development does not end when we stop growing…
Networking with other social and community services in the community I appreciate that the PNWHC gave me a lot of learning opportunities during my placement. I enjoyed attending monthly members meetings hosted by Community Service Council (CSC), and Manawatu Abuse Intervention Network (MAIN) because I was able to meet social workers and key workers from a wide range of social and community service agencies in Palmerston North. Listening to these workers’ experiences in supporting their clients…
Service learning can be a rewarding experience for both participated and the person who uses the volunteer. This was my first time experiencing an actual volunteering assignment outside of my field of interest. The experience allowed me to utilize multiple talents that I had. The experiences I have opened my time to be involved in are not the types of activities I’m normally not interested in. In order to get my service learning volunteer hours I had to go for three days at two different…
many false concepts surrounding the online learning environment, so if someone tells you online learning is not equivalent to attending the average brick and mortar school, then they do not have experience learning in an online classroom. This was my experience before attending the virtual classroom through the University of Phoenix and earning my associates degree with a concentration in the criminal justice field entirely online. In my online experience, all of the required materials were…
be passionate and committed to my learners. Other than being focused and being “present” during training and support after training, I must always want the best for my learners. To be able to make a difference in their learning journey. As a trainer, I will need to be Aware and have a view that learners are all unique and capable. Each having their own ability and aptitude. I must be aware of and respect their opinions, views and beliefs and therefore must adjust my way of training approaches…
