Make up Assignment

Super delegates are elected offical's sometimes former, who vote for a democratic running for president. Their votes decide who will be the nomnie for president.

CONS
I think the cons are that most of them vote for the popular one. I don't think it's fair because they should vote for who they think should win. Just because they have the most votes doesn't mean they will be a good president.

PROS
I think the pros are that even if they vote for the popular one they know what it take to be president. Some might choose the right one they think should win. They might change their mind and choose the other one because they think that they are better. person

Independent Service Learning Working With Community Theater Group

Do I have more/less understanding or empathy than I did before volunteering?

I would say more understanding than I did before I volunteered. Before I volunteered I didn't really care about what they did in the community because no one else did. But, then I saw that not many people help out there and it was really hard for them to put on the show. They really appreciated me and were happy I helped out.

What have you learned about this agency, these people, or the community?

I learned that not my whole community doesn't try and make it better. There was very few, but some people came out to support it. That is what made me realize that I should try to help them more so they can do more plays.

How is the issue/agency you're serving impacted by what is going on in the larger political/social sphere?

The theater group in my community (Fishtown) doesn't get many people each time they do a play. The older kids aren't into it and the younger that do come out quit half way through. As the kids get older they might not want to do it any more and not all parents allow their kids to come out each year. So, the group may get smaller and smaller each year they do it.

1. We haven't really been planning anything because the fair is over but we are looking for things to do to help cancer. We watched a video about what it's like to be in a family with a child with cancer. 

a. I was frustrated when Mrs.D made us write about our experience at the fair and what we would do to change it because it good and we aren't even doing it next year.

b. Through service learning i have learned the following about the issue of cancer. I learned that it can happen at any age and can keep coming back no matter what. 

c. I found out that when the parents with cancer complain about their lives being wrecked they aren't lying because it is hard to see your child that way.

d. I learned that i feel worse for kids with cancer. 

Service Learning 05/09

1a. I have learned about childhood cancer. I learned how it affected kids, how they were treated and different kinds that I didn't know about. 

b. Through service learning I learned that not only the kids are affected by cancer but their family, friends, and the people around them.

c. If I were in charge of this group I would change how many fundraisers we do and how often we do them.

2. For May 15 we could talk about another fundraiser next year, different kinds of fundraisers we could do, and how we can get the word out more. 

3. I read Nikki's blog and she is in N.H.D survival. She said that they are making a documentary about the right and wrong ways to do N.H.D. The subject they picked was crooked police. They started shooting the other day. They are going to have mini papers, plays, and exhibits.

Next week we are making baskets.  

Service learning meeting

On thrusday our group covered a lot of things at the meeting, like what we had to do. We found out all the things that had to be done and who had to handle what. Bridget told us ways to raise money so we can get started on buying raffles. One challenge was getting hotdogs. But that day i got them donated. Another challenge was who was going to be there that day to help. The job i would like is material person.
