Service Learning Meeting

The service learning meeting last week our group went on a walking trip. We went to this place where it had a significant amount of money exhibits. This place that we went to taught me a lot about money and how it came to be what it is today. The exhibits at this location talked about stock markets, the presidents on the dollar bills, and the currency value of these dollar bills. This trip was a fun trip for our group and everyone liked the fact that we didn't just sit in a circle and talk but took a step outside the box and went on a adventure.

Empire of the Sun{Grade this essay}

The movie Empire of the Sun was a movie about how the Japanese invaded China and took over. In this movie features a little boy named Jamie. Jamie is British young man who lives in wealth with his mom and dad. Being that he and his family is rich he kind of is a brat who thinks hes better and above everyone else.

Jamie is different from other kids his age. Kids his age are usually interested in toys, TV, and more toys. But not Jamie he is more interested in planes than anything else. He knows any and all planes from the smallest to the biggest. But other than planes there something else Jamie likes to do as a hobby. Boss other people around and get his way. Typical for a young boy who has rich parents. But one day that changed as they Japanese came and invaded their city and in the commotion he got separated from his mother and father leaving him to take care of himself.

Since the lost of his mother and father Jamie matured in age and as a person. Being that he had to take care of himself with little help from other people. He got a look at life from the perspective of a person in struggle and not from a person who got anything they want when they want. He turned into a boy who did for himself by hustling, grinding for what they needed instead of just getting it handed to them. The war turned this little boy brat into a man.

In conclusion Jamie in the beginning was a boy who couldn't do without his mommy and daddy but turned into a man who can. He actually forgot even what his mother looked like by the end of the war. He just remembered that she had dark black colored hair. When he goes back to his regular life he wouldn't be going back as the same little immature boy but he'll be going back as a mature young man.

Reflection on Service Learning meeting

Last week meeting on Friday we watched a video on homelessness. The video featured homeless people who talked about how they got to where they are. A lot of them were laid off from their jobs and couldn't pay their bills so they were kicked out of their homes. We also talked about how we would raise money to buy hygiene packets. Also what to buy to put inside them. Then we talked about the locations where we can go to help the homeless. We talked about going to shelters we can go to and how we can help. Whether its cleaning up or help serve food.
Some areas of improvement is the talking. Throughout the meetings too many people try to talk at once so its hard to hear everyone ideas and this causes confusion.
In conclusion the meeting was a success and we got a lot done and were one step closer in completing our project.

Service Learning Reflection

Last weeks service learning meeting was a success. We talked about where we would go to help the homeless such as homeless shelters, what streets locations, and different parts of the city. We also talked about what we would give to the homeless and how we would gather things together whether through give aways or food drives. We also got to know each other as people we played games to learn about one another which is key in trying to do a group project because communication is key between one another or the projet wont be a success. In conclusion the meeting last was fun and I'm looking forward to the next one.
