Reflection: Honors Service Learning Class
This semester I also learned how to word rules with right way more and how to be specific with procedures. I made a mock classroom policy about a year ago and after that lesson I made modifications to it. I got excited because it was part of our discipline 2, and I got more feedback on which I need another eye to look at for me. I took the comments and made more to policy and proud of my end product.
During the reading of chapter 1 by Brenda Combs I became tearful with her story of how the circumstances in her life changed by imploring help from the Lord to heal her from her addictions and homelessness. After she took her decision of staying positive, and setting up goals, and with determination that she and her son deserved more than a simple paycheck. Those thoughts were her inspiration for improvement, and working very hard in her dreams without giving up. The poem she wrote for her son inspired me to work harder and continue working with love and respect for self and others as always do and being an example for my daughter. With this article I was able to identify many of my areas that I have to work- on and also I was able to identify
The concepts that I enjoy learning this week is hearing about the different stories of my classmates that I have not have the chance to know about before. Furthermore, I enjoy reading the novel Fahrenheit 451 as our first book of the year. In addition, I have heard many good reviews from this book before and I have never had the chance to actually
This is the first year doing intersession at CCMS. intersson is an break from the work,but if you are struggling in a subject then you will be in enrichment. If you are excelling in all of your subjects, then you will be in acceleration. I think it is a great idea and I think it will help in the long run.
It is almost the end of the day in which we end with my second favorite lesson. Math with Mr. Berger. Again although my class has been yelled at alot, math was really fun. We learned about tessellation which is formed by repeating one or more shapes so they fit together without leaving any gaps or overlapping. We drew those and it was so fun.
I liked how people could chime in at any moment to add onto a point or be able to ask for clarification on a statement. There also was no hand raising, but it was very orderly which surprised me. I also thought it was cool that the teachers did not really have to get involved. All the classmates were able to come up with their own questions and answers. Once we were able to speak more broadly on the topic on the meaning of being a citizen we could talk about almost anything.
I learned how to approach various people I could encounter in my desired career path, physical therapy. With intelligent professionals, such as doctors and nurses, I gained knowledge on how to formally communicate with them and follow the tasks I am given. Regarding the patients of the hospital and their families, I learned how to show compassion and generosity towards strangers that have been stricken by misfortune. An important life lesson that I have acquired throughout the year is that when being involved with volunteer and leadership experience, the greatest reward is not being paid in money or recognition, but being paid in love. The people you provide service to may forget what you said and did, however, they will never forget how it made them
Volunteering at the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System truly cemented what my perception of what service is. Over the summer, I helped out for over a hundred hours in
During my freshman year I was a really isolated student very unwilling to volunteer willingly for anything, much less take up a leadership position. Then one day I went to my counselor to see what I could do that could help me for my future, she directed me to the school’s Upward Bound program, and after joining this program my eyes have been opened dramatically. When I joined I had no idea how much work went into applying and getting accepted to university, I did not know what a transcript was, a resume, GPA, or even community service hours. However, the thing that really impacted me was the leadership aspect, I had never been a leader or even thought about leading anything, I was usually just like the follower that obeyed instructions. So when the time came I decided I was going to run for class president, and that was
During this last year I spent countless hours after school between practices for all of the different teams and events that we had, such as the jingle bell jog, a 5k jog that our battalion has hosted every year for the last 5 years, drill practices and competitions, as well as practices for color guard events at basketball games, football games, and school assemblies. I also spent time participating in physical training after school, and joined the raider team. Because of this training, I got in better shape and actually ran in a few 5k races over the last year. I also was part of our honor guard and participated in practices and events related to the honor guard. I also shot in competitions with our rifle team at Montgomery Bell in Nashville,
Some people think they are deserving of the life style they get to life, but now I realize that it is by shear luck that I grew up here in the U.S. as opposed to a third world country in Asia or Africa. Because I am here and I have the ability to help other, it is really my obligation to help others. Thank you Mrs. Janet for exposing us to the realities of the world we live in and how we can help fight poverty on both a local and global level. Volunteering no longer feels like a box I must check of on my résumé, but rather an important and enjoyable part of my
Giving others a look into one 's personal experiences and hardships has value within what is told so others can learn and understand through an inspirational viewpoint. Other humans
The way it is said is almost inspiring and will draw people to
Taking this class has had a profound impact on me. I have learned how to properly study for a college class. Also, I learned how to effectively communicate and reach out to my professor. This was my first college course which gave me a learning experience about psychology and myself as a student. I have learned how to manage my time, study in ways that are better for me, focus on the task in front of me, and reaching out and taking opportunities.
Overall, this class has been a soul searching, heart pricking, and humbling process weekly. It helps me to make decisions that is removes self from the center and focus on the needs of others. Every class I am learning the heart of my peers and how to cultivate it with respect, gentleness and love. In a world, where disagreements can be viewed negatively; it is greatly needed to help move toward solutions. Periodically, the class was asked what resonated with us from the readings, videos, and discussions.
