This week I did the community service for my essay. In all other previous service projects I have gained something from each experience. I love giving back to others and I believe it is very important. I was really excited about doing this service project. I love playing with kids and giving them special attention that they might not normally get. There is an undescriable feeling that I get when I see the smiles on the faces that I have hepl. Mississippi College believes it is important in engage in service learning. Being a Christian college, MC finds showing God's love and being a service to God and other people is a mission.
Thursday my assignment was to go to the apartment and play with kids. I was expecting it to be a little different. I didnt think it was very organized. There like 30 MC students and five kids. It was also very crowded. I honestly have to say I did not get anything out of this service project. This has to be the very first one that I didn't feel useful.
In my essay I plan to describe this experience but also talk about other service learning experiences that I truely did get something out of. I would love to try to do more service projects so maybe i will have a better experience than this past one.

I did the same service project and I agree that it didn't seem organized. I really didn't feel very useful, either. It's good that you like doing service projects and will still do them.
Sorry to hear that you got nothing out of your service. Hopefully the kids got something out of it.
yeah i was there,..it was kinda boring...ok really boring
The service project was definitely unorganized. I would have to agree with you, there was not much to take from the situation.
