This article talks about service learning and how we should learn from it as we do it. In the school i graduted from we had to do service learning as a requirment every year the number got higher. some of my classmates didnt really learn anything from it so they say but i learned alot from it. i learned to appreciate what i have because alot of people dont have what i am blessed with. one thing in the article reminded me of the one thing i do every thanks giving weekend " For Thanksgiving this year my stepmother and I helped serve the seniors their Thanksgiving dinner. This was a very rewarding experience helping others in need. It seemed that the dinner was something special to them; it was a chance for them to get together with their peers. Many don't have families in the area and are all alone for the holidays. This made it a little less lonely, which feels great. Thank you for giving me the chance to help!" When a person does service learning they learn that they are more greatful for what they have.

  1. I think it's great your school has SL as a requirment! Too bad some of your classmates didn't get much out of it...At least you learned alot which is always a good thing:)
