What were your thoughts when approaching the task?
My thought was to assemble as much clothes that I can find and donate those clothes
What were two or three significant moments while accomplishing the goal?
A significant moment was when we were trying to find where the donation center was but we found the place after pretty quickly after looking
Another moment was when we entered the building and a guy thanked us for donating.
What was the response of the recipient when the task was completed?
I delivered the clothes towards the back end to the store so I didn’t get a direct response but the person who was working in the area said thank you for donating and that was more than enough gratitude for me.
How did accomplishing this assignment contribute to your understanding of what it means to serve others?
I understood how important it was for people who don’t have clothes to receive clothes because it is very expensive to buy clothing and if people are not layered up during the winter. It can cause sicknesses amongst poorer communities.
Today marked my completion of service hours for this course, which felt fulfilling, but also made the experience in its entirety feel more impactful :)
Today I was a student aid with my Leo peer in which we serviced a 7th grade class and were able to hand out paper work and set up tasks that were to be done for the students. We followed the teachers instruction to hand out play dough in which the students were creating 3D models of different shapes. One of the significant moments were when we passed out the play dough and the students were so excited to begin their activity. Another moment was when the students were competing with one another during their kahoot session. Its always so fun and heart warming working with the youth because seeing their energy and their curiousity reminds me of myself.
