My First Day of Service Learning

So today, I had my first day of the service learning portion of FNED, and suffice it to say, it was a good first experience. Although, I was anxious at first, partly due to the fact that i had never been in an inner-city school, I actually enjoyed it. The neighborhood was a mix of Hispanic and African-American cultures, which was different for me because I grew up in a predominately white town. Driving to the school, I noticed that most, if not all of the buildings on the road were labeled in Spanish or English. I noticed that there were many Hispanic stores and restaurants. The school itself, however, was nothing like I had imagined. It looked pretty new, and had a nice layout. After checking in at the main office, I made my way up the 3 flights of stairs to the classroom. Still a little nervous and anxious, i went into the room. I met the teacher, and she introduced me to the class. The class was very diverse. The classroom as well as the school "feel" like they truly want to help the children learn.
