I enlisted for the community service sessions because they gave me a chance to teach underprivileged children soccer. I taught them for a month and a half which gave me a chance to get to know some of them on a personal level. At first, there were few issues and the sessions were a bit slow, however with time they became more productive. The overall experience was refreshing for me as I could relax a little from the academic pressure and also do something beneficial for those children.<\/p>\n

LO1 Identify your own strengths and develop areas for personal growth.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 Because I had been playing soccer for a few years, I knew what drills I needed to teach the children. As time progressed, I got better in managing the children well so they could learn the most out of the drills I taught them.<\/p>\n

LO 2-Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills\u00c2\u00a0in the process.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 Communicating with the children was a challenge for me as I didn’t speak Gujarati very fluently, but over time I became better in communicating with them. Also, I had problems in managing the children and make sure they are all enjoying and learning at the same time. I got better at the skill as I spent more time teaching those kids.<\/p>\n

LO 4-Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0Even when these sessions were scheduled on weekends, I still attended all of them enthusiastically. I also managed to teach the children knowledge about football while making memories. Also, knowing that I am providing happiness to the children made me stay committed and complete this task.<\/p>\n

LO 5-Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0With the help of my fellow friends (who knew Gujarati) who were also teaching the children, I was able to communicate with them. This helped me convey my messages and the drills I wanted to teach them more clearly.<\/p>\n

This experience helped me be more caring and also allowed me to do something beneficial towards society.<\/p>\n
