 My time at my service learning site provided me with a great experience both for my personal development but also my professional development. It allowed me to put into practice much of what I have learned over the past year and a half and gain valuable work experience for my resume. I would have preferred a more structured experience that felt closer to actual careers I might have in the future but given how quickly the turn around is it can be difficult to have a true orientation. One of the most impactful parts was getting to see the work I was doing have an impact on my fellow colleagues and how that gave them a better ability to do their jobs. The challenges I faced came from a lack of understanding of my initial duties, my orientation felt rushed and hard to follow but once I started working it came very easily. I would tell future student to try to fully embrace the experience and not think of it as an assignment but as an opportunity to build your resume.
