Reflecting on Our Identities

For my service training event, I attended the Connecting Identity to Community-Call 2 Action workshop. I have gone to previous Public Service Center events and I always find them very insightful and engaging. This one particularly allowed us to share our reasons for wanting to help in the community and reflecting in our identities and how that takes into play when doing our service work. I think it is important to consider that we are not all the same and we all have different priorities for which identities matter more to us. I thought this was very useful especially when working with children at the elementary school from different background and making sure to not generalize my family experiences with theirs. This is specially important to do in the service work I have been doing, since a school is supposed to be a safe place for these children.
