My involvement with the Service Learning site was yet again intriguing. The students this time seemed very sociable and active. My initial expectation when I arrived was that the students were going to be conservative towards change. To my surprise, the students were more prepared to converse than I was. Because of their willingness to communicate and receptiveness, I became more involved in the program. This involvement removed the stress I had in conducting a multimedia essay about Escuela Vieau.
The multimedia essay I had to conduct about Escuela Vieau was a complex assignment. This was my first time creating an essay based off photos alone with text incorporated within to convey a story. This was also my first time going on a photo tour and using Movie Maker to illustrate the experience I had with the Boys and Girls Club. Using the camera as a tool of investigation, while on this tour, I learned that one can either take pictures subjectively or objectively. Since I wanted to be less biased and focus more on the Club, I took the majority of my pictures at random.
Escuela Vieau up to this point gave me an amazing experience I would’ve never endured through a handbook. My plans next week with Escuela Vieau are (1) to become more involved in the Clubs recreational activities and (2) perfect my mentoring skills.
