Servive Learning Experience

I must say my Service Learning Experience was wonderful. I know what most of us think when we are inform that service learning hours are required for a class, first thing that comes to mind is "Oh no again, I don't have time for that". However, I find the experience of it quite entertaining. For past classes, I volunteered for an agency called Cool Kids Learn which is located in Miami Lakes, but this semester I participated in the mentor-ship program. The mentor-ship is a program that helps ESOL students with their English. As a mentor, I was allow to help a student that was learning the language and was struggling with homeworks and other class projects. Not only did i feel satisfied with my job because i knew i had helped someone but also i made a friend. I personally know how it feels when you first come to this country and you don't know the language very well, it could be stressful and a painful process for the brain because there's so much you are taking in. I wish i had someone to back me up and be there when I had any question. I'm happy i got the opportunity to participate in this program and i encourage and recommend everyone that needs to do service learning to participate in it!
