What I Got Out of Service Learning • The service learning project that I helped with was a golf tournament for a kid that had died of disease. His parents had opened a scholarship fund to help local kids get into college. I learned of how kind people can be by helping at this event. The parents of the young man who had passed did not wallow in self-pity, but instead turned their heartbreaking situation into an inspiration for others to succeed. I also learned about how supportive people can be. The turnout at this charity golf event was amazing. Many people who did not even know the family personally were there, and really helped to make the golf tournament a special event.
