Being involved with service learning allowed me to witness firsthand the problems of the DCPS. It is one thing to read about something and completely different to actually experience what is happening. Service learning helped me recognize who I was writing for. Being involved with service learning helped me to actually understand students' lack of motivation. By witnessing the problem, I was able to strengthen my arguments by using pathetic appeal.
I've always been passionate about education and this course only reinforced that notion. My mom has had a hard life becuase she was only able to finish elementary school becuase she was poor. My mom is a good woman and never deserved to have her whole life go down the drain becuase she wasn't one of the lucky ones with opportunity. I would just hate to see other kids being punished the same way that my mom was which is why I want to use my degree in political science and work for a lobbyist on education reform.
