Community Service Self-Evaluation

Posted on November 8, 2011 by Kevin Lee
  1. How did your community service work help the community? We encouraged people to keep walking rather than stopping to take pictures and stop the flow of the moving crowd.
  2. What were your initial reactions upon hearing that you would be engaging in a community service project? I was astonished. I did not like to participate, but I do have a good will, and it was mandatory so I had to take part of it.
  3. How did it make you feel to give your time and energy to others? I feel like I played a part of society and even though it was minuscule, it was better than not being there.
  4. What did you learn about yourself, the people around you, and the service site? I learned that the world was a bitter place. I was stressed, ignored, tired and hungry as I was participating. Even though I was disappointed with what I experienced, it made the world a better place.
  5. What stands out as the best and/or most trying experiences that occurred while engaging in your community service project? What did you learn from these experiences? You have to be active in most aspects. You cannot just stand out there holding a sign without saying anything to the ones disobeying the signs. If no action is done, then things will get worse.
  6. How did engaging in this project relate to your education and the larger issues in society? It did not relate to my education as well as larger issues of society. Humans are humans and we all have flaws.
  7. How did your community service experience relate to the “Leadership and Service” session? Taking part involves huge responsibilities and I felt like I was not ready to take part of it.
  8. How has your community service experience changed your thinking, attitudes, and actions towards others, yourself, the community, and community service work as a whole? I felt negative towards myself as each passing second went by. On the other hand, working together is what made things positive.
  9. How has your community service experience impacted you personally? What is the most important thing you learned about yourself throughout this experience? The world is a mean place and I became convinced.
  10. Were you satisfied with your experience overall? Why or why not? No, the outcomes were different from what I have expected.
  11. Do you see yourself staying involved in the community during your college and adult years? Why or why not? Yes and no. I cannot determine my future because I have yet to experience more.
  12. Sum up your service-learning experience in a one-or two-sentence headline: Community service is great, but what you need to prepare is a strong will to participate. Together, we can make a world a better place.
