Service-learning is a teaching method that combines service to the community. It is more than just community service. It is a hands on approach to mastering subject material while developing civic responsibility.

Benefits of Service Learning

I was a part of the Blazer Raiser. This event was a fundraiser for the VSU Tennis Team.

I also sang and participated in the “Bid For Bachelors” in Albany, GA. All of the money raised went to the Autism Center in Albany.

This is a picture of me singing at the “Bid For Bachelors” event in Albany, GA. This is an event to raise money for the Autism Center in Albany. I sang four songs and also got auctioned off for a date. I raised $875 for the Autism Center and had one a very good time.

Blazer Raiser

This is a picture of me singing at the Blazer Raiser. This is an event to raise money for the Valdosta State Tennis Team.

The Blazer Raiser is a two day event. On the first day all of the VSU tennis supporters have a gathering and bid on their favorite tennis player so they can play in a tournament with them on the next day.

This event was a very fun time for the tennis players, the supporters and the helpers such as myself.

Community Service for me was a fun learning experience. Everyone around was so helpful and it did not feel like a real job while doing the community service.

How was Service Learning?

I learned a lot of values from my service learning.

I learned not to do everything for myself and take sometime out of my life for others.
