Over the last few months, the Old Folks Home Service Learning that was conducted was an eye-opening journey for me. Through this visits, I have learned many things about life. This Service learning trip has taught me to appreciate the elderly, regardless of their age. It also led me to realise the fact that there are some people who do not take good care of the elderly, causing them to end up at old folks' home. It also helped me develop a sense of gratitude towards people who voluntarily devote their life to taking care of these elderly people.
The best experience that happened during the service learning was to be able to see the elderly smiling and enjoying some the activities that our class came up with. Regardless of how small or how large the help that we offered to the elderly, they were happy and grateful of our presence. I was disappointed of not being able to converse with the old folks' due to the language barrier. This caused me to have an inability of conversing with them.
I would certainly be willing to do voluntary work at old folks' home when i grow up. This service learning trips have been something new which showed me the joy of seeing the smile on people's face when u help them in need.
