Independent

For my independent service learning project i have not yet done all of my 15 hours. So far i have done about six. I decided to help work at a recreation center named "Happy Hollow". Where i was able to help with fixing up the inside of the building . All people from all over came and were put in different groups to work on what ever was assigned ,in one part of the building. My group was assigned to fix up the bathroom. First we started by taking tape and outlining the area that was to be painted  and placing plastic on the floor  so that paint would not drip. I had a lot of fun painting for the simple fact that i like art , but also because we had fun while doing it by joking and playing while we worked. When we were finish we took a break and were giving free lunch, which was really great because there was a variety of different things such as cold meals like sandwiches along with hot lunches like spaghetti. after eating some returned to the job to finish but my group just to decided to leave. i was fine with the idea though because i felt we had accomplished a lot already anyway. Over all the whole experience was a great learning opportunity and i would defiantly  do it again.

So far for service learning not many things have been accomplished. We did come up with several Service learning ideals such as raising money and giving to those in need,whether they are in the hospital, shelter or even homeless. I hope with in the next week or so we actually will be moving towards our goals by in some way  helping the environment , people and just the community in general. Overall I feel that this project overall will give us the group skills we need to accomplish things as a team.

NHD

At the beginning of NHD i was fustrated. i had no idea of what my topic would be i kept switching back and forth between hip-hop and religion. as i further inspected the details of each topic i reliezed that religion had sparked my interest more so than hip-hop. Then  the idea of religion in schools was the topic i chose to work on. learning of this topic really gave me a better perspective of how people felt about religion along with their religion. This project help me to learn about others cultures and background and see their feelings of freedom and equality in school.
