Lately I have been pondering what am I suppose to get from this service learning project. I know I am helping the community and enhancing my knowledge on a subject of biology that I am not familiar with, but as Oprah states, I was wondering when I would achieve that "A-ha" moment-- and then it came.
I felt this feeling when I first visited the retirement community of Eagle Trace. I felt as though, so many walks of life were there and they have seen so much history that I wish I could have witnessed. Frankly, just sitting there and listening to an elderly lady discuss how she lived in the 40s and how women acted and how the world was, hit me with so much gratitude for not only giving back to my community but to learn and listen to the various stories--- that did something to my outlook on life.
