Independent Service Experience

My Independent Service was a fun and learning experience. Being though a lot of my family members have businesses, jobs that I can volunteer at or are block captains of their blocks this was very easy and at the same time fun. My first 3 hours came from helping Mrs. Klose clean her classroom. During this time I just went around her classroom and pick up trash off the tables and floors. The 8 hours came from babysitting my cousin's children went she had her baby. This was a very unforgettable experience because I was there when her water broke and I aided her until the ambulance arrived. About 5 days after my cousin baby she had a spring-clean up on her block, being though she is block captain. I decided that this would be another great opportunity for me to get service learning hours, so I helped clean up with her and her neighbors. At this cleaning day, I was in charge of getting all they trash up and bagging it. This one experience was especially good because I felt as though I was keeping the community safe and clean. this also gave me 4 hours of community service hours. Overall this experience was a fun and unforgettable.

During this meeting we watched a documentary that Mrs. Klose had made. The documentary was of the pictures she took while in New Orleans. She put it together to have something to Ballards Spahr to get them to print the papers for us. Furthermore, the documentary itself was good. She put music that was reflective of the New Orleans environment. The documentary was just good.
