When I go to service I do not really know what I expect to feel. I know I will be a little nervous because I have never been in a situation like this before. I have volunteered with a few organizations, but they have usually been working with some sort of youth organization. I have never really tutored anyone either so that adds another level of anxiety. I am very nervous about tutoring because I do not want to teach them anything wrong. I hope that all my fears will go away once I start working with my learner.
At service I expect to see adults trying to learn new things, so they can make their lives better. I am actually excited to see this because it is nice seeing adults trying to make their and their families lives better. It just shows how much love someone can have for their family even if it means asking for help, which many people don't like doing.
I am trying not to think too much about service because I don't want to start stereotyping the learner I will be placed with. I want to have an open mind and not have an pre-conceived notions before I meet my learner. I hope to get the full experience out of service, so I think it's best not to imagine what it will be like because I know I will start judging what is going to happen.
