The service learning experience had been an enriching one and i had thoroughly enjoyed it. Our class had set out to collect rice from the public in an effort to reach out as many needy people as possible. Throughout the collection, many things and events had left a mark in me. I had met many kind-hearted souls who donated generously, and even more who, for one reason or another, refused to donate. It had made me realise that the present society is far from the much- coveted utopian society. This clearly frustrated me as we found it difficult to even obtain a mere bag of rice. Hence, this taught me to preservere in the face of obstacles. Next, I learnt to become more sociable with people and also the importance of having good linguistic to convince the public. Lastly, the entire experience made me want to contribute to the society in the future if given the opportunity. The worst thing that happened to me was that an old lady decided to give us a bag of rice which was infested with bugs. It was supposed to be the morale-boosting first bag. Instead, it had went on further discourage us and had given us false hopes. However, what upsetted me the most was the lady's nonchalance when she gave the bag. Nonetheless, we pressed on and continued with our mission. I can see myself participating in future community involvement projects if given the chance. Mainly, I have the passion and desire to help the needy and contribute to the society. This service learning experience had left an everlasting impression on me and I hope to carry on the spririt of helping. |
