Service Showcase

It is hard to encompass exactly what I want to say about the Showcasing Service event we participated in. If I had just one word to collect my feelings about the entire project in whole, would be "Inspiring." Working on the project was a great experience working with others and collaborating in order to have the best project we could.  I am a firm believer in the saying "two heads are better than one," but having five great minds working together gave us the chance to make an inspiring exhibit. 

I was able to view some of the other exhibits at the living museum, and I must say I was moved by each one. The personal stories in the equal marriage group, the acting out of a fight in the domestic violence group, the cardboard box decorations in the homelessness group, and the hard facts in the drop out group moved me to be inspired to help out more in my community. I think every group there inspired others and had their own unique way of reaching out to the public.

In all, I had the experience of a lifetime being able to research, interview, and get to know the world of disabilities more than I already did. I feel I am saying this over and over, but that world is my world and in turn, my passion. I was lucky enough to share my world with my group, the class and the visitors to the Showcasing Service event. I have never enjoyed a project more in my life, and I doubt I ever will. This has truly been a life lesson of the importance of service, and it is a lesson I thank you for teaching me. Thank you Professor Burke.
