Walkers Point

When I am walking the streets near the service learning site, I take everything in. I see this street sign all over the neighborhood, a marker of where you are in the city. It serves a diverse range of means. If you are lost, it serves as a marker. It also serves as a symbol of pride, a way to bring together the community under a common cause. This communal togetherness is a stark contrast to the togetherness that is certainly lacking in suburban communities.

Final Project Ideas

For my final project I have several ideas. I plan on expanding on the concept the "journey" of education. Not only will I represent this through my focus on the buildings where education takes place (which will take some refining) but I will also showcase the tools of education, such as books. When we are young, we read picture books, and slowly make our way up to "chapter books" then in college we move onto incredibly advanced writing. I plan on showing this by taking a picture of a stack of children's books next to my current reading list to serve as a juxtaposition of the two forms.

Boys and Girls Club

I actually got into service learning for what. I managed to squeeze two hours inbetween my classes on Thursday. I was immediately thrust into tutoring two students, helping them with area and perimeter problems. It was rewarding helping them with their work. Except when I forgot how to find the area of a triangle. A little embarrassing but I remembered it in time.

After tutoring me and the other volunteers were told to assist in making paper mache balloons. I learned one thing from this. Large groups of 1st and 2nd graders have a lot of energy. I know I was like that when I was a child, but I refuse to believe it.
