Service Learning At Waite House - 2291 Words

Currently, I am engaging in service-learning at a non-profit organization called Waite House. This organization is located in Minneapolis, specifically in the Ventura Village neighborhood, which is located in the Phillips community. Engaging in service-learning at Waite House has been a positive experience for me thus far because I feel â€Å"at home,† both during the commute and the volunteering experience. The commute is approximately thirty minutes on the public bus and quite often I find myself enjoying the ride. The bus travels throughout various neighborhoods with people from many different backgrounds. While being on campus at the University of Minnesota, I do not experience much diversity in my daily life. Starting off my volunteer days with a bus ride of people who I can relate to in different ways makes the experience much more exciting and valuable for me. Specifically, I see people of all ages, speaking languages and slangs that I can understand. This makes the exp erience more exciting and valuable for me because I am comfortable in this environment; therefore, I do not feel forced to volunteer at Waite House. As soon as I arrive at Waite House I see the heart-warming smiles on the faces of most of the children as they walk off the school bus.. However, not everyone is smiling. Some of the children are angry because they do not like the idea of after-school programming or engaging in learning opportunities. Oddly enough, this enhances my service-learning experienceShow MoreRelatedA Cross-Cultural Research on Intimate Partner Murders in Russia, Canada, and the United States2368 Words   |  10 Pagesresearch is specifically addressing.

Dani has been extremely supportive and caring through this project, even on those frustrating not-so-productive days. Not once did she complain about my lack helping out around the house: skirting the laundry folding, dinner preparation and dish washing; all of which I blamed on this document. And she was always there when I needed her the most. I recently wrote in an op-ed for the International Association for Food Protection
