Call to Action Reflection

On Tuesday we got to work with 5th graders from Ravenswood. We spent the day at the Marine Science Institute. Although it was very tiring i actually enjoyed working with 5th graders. Through Call To Action Day I learned that you can have fun while helping others. We were helping the fifth graders but more importantly we were engaging with them which made it more of a friendly environment. Theres always a purpose when volunteering, in this case we were able to connect with them and make a difference in their life whether it was big or small. At fPersonally I enjoyed it and even learned new things about plankton and about kids. First I went in there with a negative mentality because I thought it was going to be more like babysitting but afterwards It was completely different. The fifth graders were funny and interesting to observe and spend time with them. On Tuesday I learned that I like kids more than I thought and I enjoy spending time with them.
