By doing this student service, it made me realize volunteering offers vital help to people
in need, worthwhile causes, and the community, also the benefits can be even greater
for me, the volunteer. Volunteering and helping others help me to reduce stress and
provide a sense of purpose. One of the better-known benefits of this volunteering is the
impact on the community. Volunteering allows me to connect to the community and
make it a better place. Even helping out with the smallest tasks can make a real
difference to the lives of people, animals, and organizations in need. Dedicating my time
as a volunteer helps me make new friends, expand my network, and boost my social
skills.

Theres not enough time to do it because I have so many classes, so when I did it, Ill
have to be in a hurry. But Im still grateful that I can experience such things.

From doing student service I can learn a few things like :

Self-Esteem: The key to lifetime mental health and social happiness is building positive
self-esteem. Leading a community service effort is a great way to build people selfesteem. When I can see and quantify the difference they have made, I feel like they can
do anything. Making a difference in the lives of others shows me this.
Empathy: Working to help others already requires a certain amount of empathy. Going
through the process of developing and executing a service project gives me the
opportunity to connect with what others are going through on a deeper level. The
interaction with people that want to help because they may have needed help once
enhances the ability for me to develop empathy during my student service.

You cant judge a book by looking at its cover: Many of the assumptions we make
about people and the world around us are based on our visual perception: how they look

or what they wear. This holds true for people of all ages. So many people have said this
a thousand time over and over, but we can only understand whats the importance of this
by experience. By doing student service, I learn that whenever I see people do unusual
things, I cant judge them based on that one action. That might be a reason for them to
do that.

I think the concept behind this class is learning to help someone in need and learning to
adapt to a new environment. From this class, they hope that students can reflect on their
own. They'll be able to see what they've never seen before and experience what they
never thought they would experience. They can learn what it feels like to be on the other
person shoes (the less fortunate people). By doing this student service, you'll be taught
to go outside your comfort zone. Sometimes, you won't have the luxury you usually get
from home when you're doing this. It's true that student service only last for few days or
a few weeks and it's not a guarantee that you'll learn something from it. But as long as
you believe that this is a good experience that you'll need when you grow up, then you
must get something from it. Thats why we need to do this student service. This semester
student service is quite interesting since Ive never been to a place like that in Taiwan. In
that place Ive met so many kids. Theyre all very sweet and cute. I got to play with them
at that place. After playing with them, the ladies who work there asked me to help them
clean the place up. Besides cleaning, sometimes I also get the chance to help them
make arts and crafts for the children. Its quite fun to do.
