Serving and Learning Together

The service learning part of the program was great. I felt it was a great way to get out and help in the community. It was tough at times trying to get hold of the kids and make appointments, but all of the Summer Scholars completed their service learning component just in time. We enjoyed it.

Our first project with the our young students was to create a dream carreer collage. It was easy we were provide the every thing we needed, magazines and posters. And the students loved cutting out the pictures that matched thier dream career. A few day later later we research their dream careers togeher and provided them with general steps toward that goal. We put together a powerpoint that include everything from classes that they should take in high school to how much they make and what it is like to work as lawyer or a doctor.

Although the younger kids did not fuly understand all of the information we tried to convey to them, we felt it was a great way to get back and help kids in the community and we did our best to help. I also felt like the kids enyoyed because they could almost relate to us high school kids. Most of the kids that the Summer scholars worked with will be going to high school soon. I hope the younger kids got an idea from what we have taught them and can go into high school and succeed.
