- The service learning for our class involved the recycling of used plastic bottles, where each of us were tasked to spend a fixed amount of time during our allocated time slots to collect plastic bottles from the school canteen and the students to recycle them. From this service learning I realized how much of plastic there is that would have been wasted should we have not recycled them.Through this service learning project, I have come to the realisation of how little effort i need to put in to make a small difference, and that all these small differences add up. I now am no longer as selfish as I were previously, having witnessed this difference that I had made to my community.
- To me, there weren't really any outstanding negative experiences, rather the feeling of having lots of bottles to put in the recycling bin was reward in itself. To see that I had made a real change in my community was something that I had not previously experienced before and this project left me with nothing but a warm glow of accomplishment. I also got to know my groupmates better through this project, and, with their help, they made it anything but a chore. All in all, this was an experience that I will well and truly cherish, and I will always bear in mind that the little acts add up to big things.
- I definitely see myself continuing in this aspect of community work, something that some other people might disregard as being small or menial, but, having experienced what I can actually do firsthand, it is not something that I see myself stopping in the near future. So yes, I will be continuing through my college and adult years, and hopefully past that.
