I was able to assist the students in the class by teaching them the right thing to do by using the knowledge I acquired in the class. Having an understanding of the class was a great help because it made things easier to do having been in the class before. For the 2 terms I have been in woodworking, I have come to realize that helping the students taught me a lot more about the class. Helping them gave them less stress about their work and they were able to finish their project in a timely manner. This has boosted my confidence and self-esteem to learn more about the class and use what I have learned from there more often when needed. It made me get more involved in this career field. The experiences over the last term that have been meaningful to me are, being able help the students in the class which made me more independent and responsible because I know they are relying on my knowledge. Also building my own projects and helping the teacher with his project gave me the experience and ability to use what I learn in the class more

    The National Service-Learning Clearinghouse describes Service-learning (SL) as, “a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.” SL is nothing new, dating back to The University of Cincinnati founding of the Cooperative Education Movement in 1903; although, service-learning in pharmacy is a relatively new concept (NS-LC). SL is a way for educators to provide real-life learning experiences to students through providing provision to communities or underserved populations. The major benefits to students of S.L. programs are offering experience, an expansion of knowledge, and personal growth; and can be beneficial to a student’s career and resume. Most all of the requirements of the competencies in Pew’s 1998 competency of practice proposal, including thinking ability, communication skills, valuing and ethical decision making, social and contextual awareness, social responsibility, social interaction, and self-learning abilities, are met through service-learning (Drab, Lamsam, Connor, DeYoung, Steinmetz, and Herbert 44).

    In order to fulfill the 12 hours of community service requirement for Nutrition course 139 I applied with five organizations on the approved list. The organization that replied me the fastest was Open Heart Kitchen, they mostly operate in Pleasanton and Livermore areas. Their application and signing up for shift process gives a feeling that this organization is massive, and many individuals really care about the less fortunate. From observation and conversations with the site supervisor, I believe this organization relies on individual donations, small business donations and large corporate donations such as Safeway and Walmart. This organization also relies on volunteers to work every day, they get workers from students fulfilling their hours and resume, individuals fulfilling court orders, and those that just want to help the less fortunate.

    Since I was able to speak the language, I understood what the students were saying while also understanding the teacher. I really enjoy working with students and providing assistance, and I was able to do that which was rewarding. I also was able to give a student who did not bring lunch a snack because I had it with me, and I figured that she might need it more than I do. Sometimes we, as people, do not think about the little things we do and how they add up, but I can say that the smile on the girls face and how she slowly ate the fruit snacks in order to savor them meant the world to me. I was looking around, and a lot of the other students had food, and the teacher asked them to lend her something since she did not bring her food, but no one offered. Once I gave her the fruit snacks, another student went up to me and said that she will give her grapes. It was a great feeling to see another student do the same and cause a chain reaction even in a
