Course Narrative:
During my community service I realized that there are no excuses to help our community. When I did the community service I realized that if you want to do something you do it and it doesn't matter that you have thousands of things to do if you want to give yourself the time to help your community and you will find out to find the time. At first I thought it would be something impossible since I worked full time and also went to school full time, I also had to take care of my family. I realized that I had to organize my time and when I finally did, then I was no longer just working and going to school but also serving my community. in the schools you can see how the help of the popes is very important. When I was grabbing my prayers I realized that teachers need a lot of help because it is not easy to teach 25 or 30 children at a time. I am impressed by the work they do and I admire them more every day. When I was going to do my hours, I watched as some moms were going to help the teachers one day a week and then we divided them into groups and we had to take charge of teaching them a new concept. children learn very fast and what I notice is that they want to participate in everything. Some children stayed after school and at 9 in the morning I would spend with them until 6 two days a week since all the children in this program left, we helped them in their tasks and explained what they did not understand in class. We put them activities like crafts and we also gave them a snack. Children start to embody you and you with them and that is the best part of serving at school. Later I was convinced that there is no better feeling than feeling useful and helping in your community.
