Service to others can be taking some time off from your "routine life" and using that time off in helping or volunteering. I did my service learning experience at a thrift shop where parents can shop clothing for their children, furnitures for their house, books for their children etc at a very low affordable price. Actually pretty much inside the store were handed or given for free to the shoppers. Also, they have a food bank for the homeless as well. There I saw how basic necessities such as clothing and food are very important for survival. What I saw opened my heart and mind to give back by donating my unused clothing, donating canned goods every time I go there to do my service learning, and to the point that I just bought a set of dining table and chairs (that I do not really need) so the shop can generate an additional income to help the poor. At the moment, I am even thinking of donating the table and chairs back to shop so it can help generate income again for them. For this course, I have not exactly find a place to do my service learning but I have an idea that I might be doing it at the Hubbard House where our patients family members from out of state can stay in order to be closer with their sick loved ones in the ICU.
