Recommended: The impact of Education on poverty

I chose WebOrganic’s program as my service learning project because when comparing the other 2 projects, it seemed that I could perform better in this project. Originally, I joined it mainly for fulfilling the school’s graduation requirement, however, after I started this program, I found another objectives. In this reflection, I would like to share what I have observed, thought and felt, what have been achieved or can be further improved of the workshop.
The target students of this program are primary students from low income families. This program aims at providing poor students equal opportunities to access to the internet, helping them to learn necessary computer skills to facilitate their self- learning at homes.
More importantly, we would …show more content…

If they encounter problems or have unhappiness, they may not eager to share their feelings with teachers or their parents because of the generation gap or the identity difference. Besides as a teacher, we will also take an important role as a listener and friend, listening to mentees’ problems and sadness. By doing so, we provide them a channel to express their negative emotions, which hopefully lead them to healthier mental and physical developments.

In addition, Grass also mentioned that 2 of our mentees were in special studying needs- One girl has the symptom of Attention Deficit and / Hyperactivity Disorder while another boy loves touching others very much and he may hurt other without knowing it. However, both of them have not been diagnosed or verified by doctor. Although that boy said he had friends at school, I doubt whether it is true. During the workshops, I found that he seldom interacted with other mentees, he just talk to one of our mentors.
Furthermore, I found that family hardship will not hinder their multi-developments. A girl shared with me that after school, she will go to learn ballet and violin, which costs her family around $1,300 per month. It indicates that parents’ great ambitions for their children, they do not want their children become less competitive and fail at the starting point, so they try to contribute the most through their limited

Having a two-parent over a one- parent household is an underlying advantage. Gladwell states “If someone had recognized his intel-ligence and if he was from a family where there was some kind of value on education, they would have made sure he wasn't bored” (Gladwell 110). Gladwell states how if Chis Langan had someone in his family notice his intelligence and appreciated the value of education he might have had the tools that figures such as bill gates had to succeed. But because of the nonexistent pressure or care from his parents, he never had the tools needed to achieve success. Having the pressure and support of a parent can make success and give the drive to achieve the success that without a parents support their kin may end up lost or unmotivated to gain this success.

In her book “Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race, and Family Life,” Lareau depicts a family where the eldest son’s schedule “determines where the adults must be and when they must be there, sets the timing and types of meals for everyone… and even shapes the family vacation plans” (42). In the specific story, the parents have jobs with flexible hours, so they are able to give the child the ability to participate in all of the activities that interest him. While it seems like a wonderful thing to be able to allow children to explore everything they are interested in, it can be difficult for the children to learn that their parents’ lives are also a top priority. If a child is taught to believe that their schedule is the most important part of their family life, they may struggle with someone else’s activities taking priority. Also, if the parents have more than one child then they must deal with giving equal priority to everyone, which is difficult, if not impossible.

Dominated by the ever-changing developments of technology, most of us are directly or indirectly affected by the transformation which comes along with digital revolution.
