What Does service Learning mean to you?

Service learning to me is helping the environment to be a better place. Service learning has impacted my life because it makes a different in any community to keep it clean. You can be successful from service learning by using your time to help others that are not as fortunate. All the time you have to spare you could do things that could effect the communtity later in life. Every time you have to do service learning you are giving back to the community for the mistake you made which is more likly illegal. Service learning helps young people to use team work to accomplish tasks.

Gardening and Character

On the previous day of service learning, I weeded in the backyard. I learned weeding can help by allowing other plants grow around it. Gardening can help the world because many plants can not grow with weeds in the ground. Weeds take over the growth of plants by killing the plants. For example, trees can die if weeds take over the growth of the tree which means we can not grow fruits and vegtables to eat. A lot of plants need attention and care so they can grow to be healthy and harvested.

My teacher ,Mr.Shirley, showed us that plants do make a difference in the world. Mr. Shirley compared plants to life. While we were weeding he said that everyone has problems like weeds in their life. Mr. Shirley showed us that you have to get to the root of your problem like the root in a plant. To get weeds out of the ground you have to get to the roots. I learned that the decions you make in life are up to you; no one else can make the decions for you. This will help me to think before I act on a problem, and to figure out the root of the problem before it becomes an issue.
