After going through the few months of service learning with the elderly, I have learnt how to appreciate what we have. I have also realised that life is short and we should take care and appreciate our grandparents and the elderly, before they pass away. By the time we learn to appreciate the elderly, it might already be too late.

 

 

Throughout the service learning process, the best experience that I had was the fact that we brought joy and some liveliness to the eldeerly home. The part that really touched my heart was to see the wide smiles and laughter that the elderly experienced during our visit. The worst part was probably the fact that some of the elderly did not really enjoy the activities that we set for them and that some of them were restless, despite our performance and activities.

 

 

I learnt that a little thing ,such as a frog, or helping others, can go a really long way. Knowing that there are much more people out in the world who are less fortunate and needs help, I will definitely continue to stay involved in the community during my college and adult years.
