Community Service Self-Evaluation

Posted on November 9, 2011 by brendan.lukas
  1. How did your community service work help the community? Supporting the walkers in the Light the Night walk helped get the word out about the fight against Leukemia around South Street and in the surrounding community.
  2. What were your initial reactions upon hearing that you would be engaging in a community service project? I was gung-ho from the start because I’ve been engaging in community service for years. During my time in Student Government I’ve participated in countless fundraisers and service opportunities.
  3. How did it make you feel to give your time and energy to others? I felt good, because what I was doing was helping those in need.
  4. What did you learn about yourself, the people around you, and the service site? I learned that doing good things for other people, no matter how small, makes a big difference. I also learned that other  people are willing to come together to unite against a serious illness, and that the Seaport is a interesting area.
  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? The best experience that occurred was seeing the first group of walkers round the halfway point on the Brooklyn bridge still eager to complete the rest of the distance. I learned that people can put the cause ahead of physical limitations.
  6. How did engaging in this project relate to your education and the larger issues in society? Engaging in this project was a unified experience with my Freshman Orientation class, so it was directly related to my education.
  7. How did your community service experience relate to the “Leadership and Service” session? My community service experience exemplified that to be a leader you have to first serve the community around you.
  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? This experience hasn’t really changed my thinking but enhanced it, because I already had an inkling that helping those around you is necessary.
  9. How has your community service experience impacted you personally? What is the most important thing you learned about yourself throughout this experience? The most important thing that I learned throughout this experience is that I wish to engage in more as soon as possible.
  10. Were you satisfied with your experience overall? Why or why not? I was satisfied because it was great to be on the beautiful Brooklyn bridge seeing people walk for a cause.
  11. Do you see yourself staying involved in the community during your college and adult years? Why or why not? I see myself undertaking much more service, especially to help the many poor and disadvantaged people of New York City.
  12. Sum up your service-learning experience in a one-or two-sentence headline: We walk together as one. We walk for a cure.
