Civic Responsibility & Personal Growth

Through this Service-Learning, I came to learn about how this group of students are more susceptible to some mental health issues, one of which would be emotional dysregulation. This broadens my perspective as I work mostly with people with disabilities from organisations during events or Service-Learning projects. I feel like I have overlooked this population of people so if I do have the opportunity to conduct Service-Learning projects in the future, I would definitely want to look into this population and provide more social support.

​

Having the opportunity to facilitate and lead the programmes such as the mini volcano activity, allowed me learn to convey clear messages and how to earn the respect and attention from the children. As I was able to overcome this challenge of teaching the children since they have short attention spans, I feel more confident that I will be able to lead other people if I have the opportunity to in the future. One way that I can spread this impact is by volunteering for leadership roles so I can put what I have learnt in this Service-Learning to use or I can encourage others to take on the roles so that they can benefit the same way that I did.
