Final Project
I feel like this service opportunity has impacted me more than it impacted the students with whom I worked. I was able to be involved in a school with a diverse student body, where students have many different socioeconomic backgrounds. Some students have not had as many opportunities and struggled with certain subjects in school. This is a part of society in which I have been unaware. Prior to this service opportunity, I did not spend much time thinking about students who have not had as many opportunities as myself (even though AMES has a diverse population as well). Throughout this year, I hope I was able to make a positive impact on the students. I hope I was able to give back to a community that has given so much to me and has helped me get to where I am today. I encourage any present and future AMESians to look into an opportunity similar to volunteering at Spring Lane Elementary School because not everyone will have the opportunity to go to AMES and be taught by the best faculty in the state. Giving just an hour and a half every A-day was, in simple terms, rewarding.
