Reflections for CE Project

For my class service learning, we were tasked to collect plastic bottled drinks that students have finished in school and throw them into the recycling bin instead of the main rubbish bin. This service learning has certainly heightened my experience in the field of doing something for the community. I never thought we could help not only the community but the environment in this way. It teaches me that we can all play a part in serving the community and this will benefit everyone as a whole.

The best experience was when a group of students came up to us and passed us their empty plastic bottles. It showed that they too wanted to help us in playing a part to help the community. We did not have to go around asking for plastic bottles. They took the initiative to come up to us and hand the bottles. I have learnt that one person alone will not be able to fulfill his service towards the community without the help of others who also want to serve the community.

In the years to come, I will certainly do community service as I know my little effort can help someone else out there. For example, I would take time to go down to the Old Folks' home to help out,, to make sure the old folks feel loved and cared for. I believe service towards the community has to be reciprocated.
