• How has the service-learning experience changed my thinking, attitudes, and actions towards others, myself and the community?                                   This service learning, whereby our class were told to recycle plastic water bottles and place them into the recycling bins, has greatly changed the way on how I view recycling. Not only are we able to reduce the amount of resources used but we are also able to lessen the burden of the environment. By contributing to this service learning, I have learned that saving our environment is not impossible as long as everyone is able to chip in bit by bit. This way not only will we have a cleaner and fresher environment, but also a better place to live in. 

• What stands out as the best or worst thing that happened to you in your service learning experience? What did you learn from these experiences?

The worst thing that happened to me would be a lack of space to store the large numbers of water bottles that has been collected. Due to the many sessions of collecting, i realise that the desk under my table was getting too full. In the end I had decided to place them in plastic bags and bring them home.

 

The best thing that happened would be that me and my group were able to foster better friendship and teamwork amongst ourselves. Also I am glad that we are able to help the environment in one way or another.

I have learned that recycling is important if we want a better future and place for us to live in. In order to do so, i have learned that everyone is required to play a role in it       

• Do you see yourself staying involved in the community during your college and adult years? Why or why not?

Yes, but not as much, as the workload in college will be much more than what I am receiving now. By recycling frequently, I will be able to develop a good habit and also develop my character.
