I did volunteering at a local hospital in my junior year in high school. My initial intention was to have some extracurricular activities for my college applications. The volunteering job itself was dull. Most of the time I did my work changing and refilling things in patients’ rooms. Other times I would help the front desk file, print, and copy. I figured out little things that would help me get things done quickly. Overall it was a positive experience for me from the gratitude of helping out others. Although I would like to be doing things that are most productive, I think that this experience helped me with my “service-learning” in this class because I learned how to get through things that at first might seem dull but later on find good out of it.
