Lesson four learning reflection

• Wonderful learning experience while visiting those with disabilities.

This week I felt like I really progressed in my learning because I took careful notes of the different court cases involved and I sat down and studied them. Then when we did the activities in class about court cases I was ready and prepared. This helped my learning tremendously. I need to get better at writing everything down in my notes in a way that makes it easier to study.

I truly loved the experience that I had visiting the people that had disabilities. It was an amazing experience because I was very impressed with many things in that facility. I first was very impressed that the workers knew who everyone was and showed genuine love. There was a lady there that knew everyone on an intimate basis because she would joke with them and hug them. I loved this because I really felt that the individuals there felt of her love. I also loved how the workers really encouraged the individuals to become independent. They were learning useful skills. It was such an amazing phenomenon to me.

I think I am pretty prepared to apply certain things in the future such as treating others with kindness and understanding. I also think the simulations helped with this because it made me see how truly difficult it would be to live with an impairment. 

My group all had amazing experiences with the service project. They were all nervous beforehand because they didn't know what to expect. But they all loved it. I think this was one of the best ways they could have possibly learned because it was through experience. I helped my group learn by trying to share my knowledge of court cases during the group activity.
