At first I was wondering how boring could it be spending time with the old people, as what I had experienced with my grandparents before. However this Service learning had changed my perspective towards old people and my own responsibility for the society and the community.

One thing that made me very happy is the warm welcome from the person in charge. He also instructed us what to do and helped us with it. The first day we played board games, although it was difficult due to language barrier and the old people just played the game without following the rules, it was quite fun after all. The second day we were involved in easy exercises and I enjoyed watching how active the old people were.

I cannot deny this but I really like this Service learning and hope the school can organize more sessions during the holiday or after the exams. Besides contributing to the community, this will also build a sense of responsibility to the society and a different thinking of old people.
