My reflection on the service-learning project I attended this pasted Saturday was totally fun, I wish I could do it again. I didn’t expect it to be that interesting. The kids we had were round my age, and they were not difficult to get along with at all. They were down to earth and really easy to talk to. In my group ice breakers was not really needed because all the kids knew each other and they were very friendly, but we did them anyway just to have more fun and get to know them even more. I was expecting something totally different like them not wanting to be bother, mean, and rude. But they seem to have proved me wrong. They were funny, very hyper, all smiles, and they seem to enjoy themselves just as much as the Xaver students did.
We talked about them speaking up for change and puttine their two-cents in. They had alot to say and they seem to have had alot more confidence for speaking out to the wrold at letting it be known about what they had to say. It was a remarkable experience to encounter for me and another individual as well. To say I didn’t know the kids for no more than a day I seem to have known them for more than just that morning.
