I believe this trailer from the movie"Freedom Writers" goes well with my serves learning project because it relates to both of my projects. In the movie there is a country girl who want's to be a teacher and want to make an impact on the children who are less fortunate. She teaches the kids how to accept each other while learning to accept them herself. She Teaches the young kids to have respect for them selves and others. I compare this to my serves learning also because she tough her family and friends how to accept other people no matter their situation. She does things out of her heart for common good. This is a heart touching movie that can teach everyone life lessons.

Life Lessons

Service learning is a important as a life learning  experience because you are able to learn about different people from different background and ares. You are allowed the chance to learn life lessons and impact peoples lives. You learn how to help people who are not as fortunate as you. 

I believe serves learning is great for my human dignity because it shows me how to accept others for who they are and not to always expect things from other people. I learned that giving everyone respect displays dignity. This works both way's if you show people respect the will give it to you. Human dignity is good for other people because it helps boost their confidence and makes them a little happier. 

Common Good !

I believe services learning is important for the common good because it gives people an opportunity to help other people and learn how blessed they are without profit. Common good to me is the good that one belief that one does for his own good because they know it is right. To ensure all dignity is met you must sacrifice the things you are used to and the people you are used to because through serves learning you are able to due the right thing for example help others who need help.  The rules in place to make sure this is for common good are that no one is allowed to do this for a prophet or for any reason other than service learning. At my brother’s keeper and the school I volunteered at it is a no profit agency. If you are not having a good time helping others or you have an attitude you are asked to leave and not return. From my serves learning I learned not everyone is blessed like I am and not all people have all of the gifts that I have. I spent time getting to know several people from both my brother’s keeper and the school I volunteered at and I learned that not everyone knows the things I know not everyone has the things I have for example a loving supporting mother, a strong supportive family or simply just people to keep you company. I can take these life lessons and apply them with my interactions with my peers at Mount Saint Joseph by telling my peers the joys of working with others who are less fortunate that them and learning from them and teaching them new things. I can also tell my peers how my learning humbled me. I can also give my peers stories and lessons that I learned and hope they use these things in their life. I can also encourage them to do their own acts of common good for example helping others who need help. 

Human Dignity

Human Dignity

Human Dignity to me is the respect you have for yourself and other people who are people. I worked at two places for my service learning project. I worked at my brother’s keeper. I also tutored dyslexic children. At my brother’s keeper their mission statement is "Motivated by love for God, My Brother's Keeper is dedicated to transforming the Irvington Community and empowering its residents by providing quality social services that give them the tools to build on their own strengths." At my brother’s keeper they accept anyone rich or poor, educated or uneducated no matter who you are they accept you and provide a meal. I also spent afternoons there during the week and saw the social workers assisting families that were in need. My brother’s keeper treats everyone with self respect and prides them in building themselves with good strong qualities. 

 I also was blessed to have the opportunity to work with dyslexic children. I thought this was fret because I also have dyslexia. I noticed all of the tutors were opening and welcome to work with kids. The kids were allowed to come no matter what the problem was or what they looked like. Everyone was accepting. The children were treated with the utmost respect and they enjoyed learning. I pride myself in showing other people respect while having a chance to respect myself and teach them things I have learned.
