Reflections
Reflection takes place when you think
critically about your service experience. Writing, speaking,
listening, and reading about your service experiences are examples
of reflection. Why is reflection important? Learning happens
through a mix of theory and practice, thought and action,
observation and interaction. It allows you to learn from
yourself. Want to know more about reflection?
Read these great examples from Winthrop
University Close Scholars:
"I think that one of the most important things is to be able to
relate all aspects of your life. The community service that I
do is not separate of me, but instead becomes an intricate part of
who I am as a person.”
"Maybe I will strive to be more humble and work on improving myself
to better mesh with difficulties and adapt to the views of other
people.”
“I have never in my life seen something so amazing. I believe
everyone should participate in Relay for Life, because then it will
give the participant a beautiful image on what can come together to
support cancer victims and survivors.”
(About volunteering for the Guardian Ad Litem program)
“The hearings were so emotional and I felt really bad
for some of the parents. Some of the parents had lost their
children for some really bad reasons, so they are all trying to get
their life together. The judge was really compassionate and
showed that he cared about the well-being of children but also the
well being of the parents. It was an enlightening experience.”
