Service Learning Reflection 5/28

• What have I learned about myself through this experience?

I have learned that I am not an affective leader. I have tried week after week to keep these kids focused and do what needs to be done. They just do whatever they want. Also, I have no idea how to create a program like this. It's only been by the help of Mrs. McMillan that we have gotten this far and did as much as we have.

• What more needs to be done?

We still need to find tutors for next year. we have to find a place to hold these sessions and create a schedule for them. we have to get the tutors to agree and find ways of keeping tabs on the teachers' lesson plans next year, so we know what to focus on.

• How is the issue/agency you're serving impacted by what is going on in the larger political/social sphere?

Our tutoring may not get off the ground if we can not find tuors or tutees. No ne will want to be a tutor because they will be labeled a nerd or something and no one wants tutoring beceause "people who need tuoring ust be really dumb." If these ideas still hold true, our system is going to crash and burn before we ever had the chance to make it work.
