At the beginning, I dreaded the thought of having to accompany elderly folks that are learning how to use the ipad. However, when I attended the session where the elderly folks learnt how to operate the ipad, I was quite amazed at how fast they could grasp the knowledge of using an ipad. Maybe I underestimated them. All of them were in fact looking forward to learning how to use the ipad. At first, it was rather challenging to teach them the basics but after they had gotten the hang of it, everything else was rather, I would say, a breeze. Soon, the elderly folks were maneuvering around with the ipad, playing the games and bidding for a high score. I enjoyed seeing how the elderly folks competed with one another to get a high score, it was satisfying to see when the elderly that you taught achieved one of the high scores.
After this service learning, I feel that we should all do our part in giving back to society and I will definitely be more involved in the community during my adult years. I feel that there are still many more unfortunate people waiting for us to lend out a helping hand to them. Even though what we do may seem insignificant to us but to them, it will be a great help to their well being as well as their future. All in all, I learnt that all of us should at least give back to the society which has brought us up even if it means at the expense of your time.
