Journal Entry 1

For this Service Learning Project I hope to experience this a different culture in a way so that I can document and share my findings. I hope to help the students of Escuela Vieau School by sharing my culture and immersing myself in theirs. As a Service Learner my job is to help the students in any way possible. My areas of interest are helping with Arts and Crafts. I look forward to this because Art was one of my favorite subjects and extra-curricular activity to do. Since the students are from a different culture they speak a different language, although they still can speak English I’m a little worried that there might be a language barrier there. I’m thinking that most of these students will want to speak Spanish therefore speaking English will not be their number one priority. For me immersing myself in a different culture is a fun thing to do. I will do my best to portray their culture through pictures. I love to take pictures in the first place so doing this project shouldn’t be all that difficult. I really am looking forward to this experience by taking pictures and being with children of a different culture.
