Reflection On Direct Service
Before starting my service project at Kearns Jr High I talked to stephanie about what are some of the
objectives that we will finish and what are some of the math subjects we might be tackling, she wasn't
to sure about the math subjects that we might be working on but she said that we are there to assist
Mrs. Healton during Flex Time. So once we were about to start are tutoring I was pretty nervous about
tutoring because this was a new experience for me and didn't know how I was going to be helping the
student exactly. Mrs. Healton asked us that during the students “Flex Time” they had the choice to play
games, sports, or work on something that they were struggling like math, reading, science , english and
history. This gave the opportunity for the students who needed the help to catch up with the rest of the
class; their was also some student that had to go and ask for help since they were slacking the most. It
was these student that we had to tutor the most and to show them it can be easy if you become
interested in the subject.
At the end I understood why Mrs. healton thought that tutoring kids math didn't relate too much to
technical writing but there was some relations like critical thinking and social networking. The service
learning helped me understand the importance of helping others and to feel like you have contribute
and the feeling of personal sense of accomplishment; building a better person in yourself and creating
positive mindset. This was a great experience for me and really encourages me to participate in other
types of volunteering services like maybe sports, physical training,Coding or teaching chess they are
some the things i like to do and wouldn’t mind help others.
