Community service has always been something that is important to me and I have been involved in community service projects since middle school. In fact, community service helped me meet some of my first friends at Cornell as the first organization I joined on campus was the service fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega. Thus, today’s seminar was really interesting to me because although I engage in community service quite often, I rarely reflect on my experiences. Of course, after a community service shift, I will think about how I felt about what I did for a little bit but I won’t delve into why this work was important for me to do. Thus, I was really interested when Amy suggested that we take a moment to reflect on our community service in whichever way felt most natural and comfortable to us – such as through painting, conversations with others, or even writing a song! For me, I think that I would like to reflect on my community service by talking to others and teaching them about the cause that I raised awareness for and learning from their feedback/comments to me. All in all, I really enjoyed this seminar and hope to apply the reflection skills I learned after my next community service experience!
