For my service learning project I am volunteering at the Landing Community Center. There i will help the youth of all ages and backgrounds helping them in partnership and growth. I am very excited to do this project beacause i will be working with children, and hopefully someday thats what I will want to do for my future. When i was in the eighth grade i volunteered at a retirement home for one of my classes. It really opened up my eyes to new experiences, seeing the effect i actually put on the five women in the retirement home. I grew a bond with them that i will cherish forever, and within the month period of doing this, one of the elderly women I saw passed away leaving a even bigger effect on me.
I haven't done a vast amount of community service type volunteering a bunch, so I am actually very excited that this is a requirement for the class. That is sad that I need to be required in order to take an interest in community service but hopefully I will grow a love for it as I did at the retirement home, only this time I will continue commuting.
Again i couldnt be more thrilled to be working with kids and serve as a leader to the community. I am going to go into it open minded and by the end of this I will bet that I see a change in views from myself as well as the people I will be commuting. I am very excited to grow from this experience and bring back stories that will have changed my life and then some.
