Service-learning refers to a teaching and learning strategy that incorporates community service.

- I was provided with a helpful and supportive environment in the college and career center.
Moreover, using qualitative data, I plan to create a log that records student behaviors and interactions. During the advising session, I will focus on observing the student’s body language, tone and clarity of voice, and the interactions between the student and the advisor. Some of the interactions that I hope to observe and see during the advising sessions is a good quality of discussion between the student advisee and the advisor. I want to be able to analyze if the student engages in conversation and asks questions to the advisor or instead listen to the suggestions and information provided. These observations will help me identify if the student and the academic advisor have a close relationship.
The Educational Talent Search (ETS) program is an early outreach and support program federally funded under the TRIO branch of the U.S Department of Education for 53 years. The TRIO programs are student support programs that provide services to students that come from low-income backgrounds or are identified as first-generation students. In 1964 TRIO established the first support program known as Upward Bound. After the establishment of Upward Bound, in 1965 the Educational Talent Search program was the second student outreach program …show more content…

The final way that I feel the pillar of service can be applied to my life would be my willingness to help fellow students with programming dilemmas they may have come across while creating a program. At the studio I attended during my freshman year, I was one of the highest programmers at the time, so I was usually one of the first to test the curriculum as a student. Whenever I had the chance or opportunity, I would always try and help younger students who were struggling at the time. Helping these students learn to do something that I had learned to love and enjoy makes me feel fulfilled and lucky to have been able to serve them as I did on several

For the Service Learning Project, I wanted to choose something that corresponded with my major. My major is environmental science so my first thought was to pick up litter in order to rid the planet of pollution. However, the project I ended up doing was slightly more indirect. I created several activities that will later be used to teach children about pollution and how to recycle. Thus, instead of directly reducing pollution, I am teaching the children how to do it throughout their lives.

Service to me means, giving your all to you school and community without expecting anything in return. At a young age, I participated in many fundraising events with my dance team where we provided a service to others such as annual car washes, waiting tables at various restaurants, and organizing dances and activities for kids. In Junior High I was a key club member and we volunteered for concession stand duties, helped out at elementary basketball tournaments, and acted as line judges or referees at volleyball tournaments. Since my mom is a first grade teacher, I spent many summers setting up and organizing her classroom, and on my days off from school, I provided kids in my mom’s classroom with help in reading or math. As a part of Earth Week at our school, I did various jobs for people in my community.
