Independent Service Learning

This year and for next 2 years, I hope I will not have to do any more independent service learning, because last year in 9th grade I completed about 50-60 independent hours for service learning, which is over the amount of hours needed to complete independent service learning. I completed my hours at ACORN. At ACORN I was a gofer, I made copies of people's ID cards so they were able to file taxes, took messages, and help the organizers tie up lose ends.

NHD Reflection

The whole NHD experience was a goody but a baddy. It was a good experience because I was able to work with my friends and it was my first time working on a board. Then on the other hand it was a baddy because the printers where out of ink, we could only print to the computer room, but the worst was when our group was ready to kill each other. So NHD should be stopped.
