My class service learning was to encourage students to recycle the plastic bottles other than throwing them into the dustbin. Service learning was a new experience for me. Initially i was not really interested about doing this. But after my first try i came to enjoy it. I was able to mingle with more people and get to know them. Along with i also came to know about all the damage that these plastic bottles cause to the environment. Thus i was motivated to make this class effort a success and help save the Earth at the same time. 

The best thing that happened during my service was that, some of my friends from other classes started to help me by throwing their bottles in the recycling bin and asking their friends to do the same. I was elated to see the support that they gave me. On the other hand, there were also other students who were a hindrance to my effort. Despite my request to throw their bottles in the recycling bin, they continued to throw them in the rubbish bin. It was really disheartening, as they are polluting the environment which would affect them in years to come. I would this was the worst part of my service learning.

Yes i do see myself involved in community service. Through such acts i am able to set an example to the future generations and be a great role model to save the Earth. Only by doing so, we would be able to change our society and our living space.
