The happiness that I felt after the service learning cannot be expressed in words. I know I have done a brilliant thing: to collect rice for the poor. We live in a affluent environment where food is no longer a major concern. However, there are people starving here who cannot even afford the basic needs for living, for example, rice. Compared to them, we have more than enough food to survive. After the invaluable service learning experience, I have decided to value the food that we consume every day, and help the starving people who are in need. During service learning, the best thing that happened to me is that an old lady gave us 4 sacks of rice, which encouraged me greatly. I learned the kindness of Singaporeans and the happiness obtained after giving back to the society. I also want to stay involved in the community during college and adult years since through community involved activities, I can interact with people, improving my communication skills and getting to know the problems and concerns in their daily life. Through service learning, I learned to have compassion, to interact and most importantly, to contibute.
