My Experience: Volunteering and Community Service
I was not able to volunteer at the Houston or NYC Food Bank, so I'm writing about my other experiences for Service Learning, Volunteering and Community. I have volunteered to assist my colleagues whom are from the nation of Haiti. We have collected toiletries from hotels stays (I'm a flight Attendant all F/A's contribute), school supplies, clothing as well as food. I have also had the honor of flying to Haiti to delivery these donations.
On one occasion, I had the opportunity to visit an orphanage and a home that housed mothers and their children. This was the saddest most emotional part of the trip, seeing the mothers of these precious babies. As I interacted with the families and got to hold this one particular baby, he was so cute. The mother said, "You can have him, you can keep him." It brought tears to my eyes. All mothers want a better life for their children and was willing to let me have their child to try to achieve this end.

Service Learning Observation of Psychiatric Patients Patients with normal health problems behave in a different manner as compared to patients with psychiatric problems. It has always fascinated me that psychiatric patients have an ability to look normal as compared to the patients with other health problems despite the fact that they are suffering from what can be in a longer term a fatal mental disease.

Service-Learning "Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts" (Einstein, as cited in Freeman & Jackson, 2007, p. 338). An old adage asserts that people remember what they see; they understand what they do Freeman and Jackson (2007) note in the book, UnCommon sense about learning. In addition, just like the sounds one hears and the words one speaks have consequences, the things one sees in life
