Laurel Hill Annex

For my service project I worked at the Laurel Hill Annex with a kindergarten class. I helped them with their writing and reading and also had the opportunity to go on a field trip with them at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium to see a play called "Max and Ruby." Working with this kindergarten class was one of the best experiences I have ever had. It was so rewarding and such a great opportunity. I seriously fell in love with the children and I am going to miss them so much. They really impacted me and I plan on visiting them on my own time to see how they are doing. It was so great getting to know these students and help them out. Some of these students come from extremely different lifestyles than from what I am familiar with and it was a great experience to work with them. I learned a lot from these students and helping out at the Laurel Hill School really made me think about going into education as a career! The last day I was there at the Laurel Hill School with my students, I gave each of them a coloring book and passed out brownies. They were the happiest kids alive. Just being there and working with these students and giving them simple gifts like that meant the world to them. I really enjoyed my service project!
