MAY 19TH
During service learning I'v experienced alot. The three most exciting moments was filming with my group, joting down notes with my partner Dave, and making a movie with the class. Also I had fustrating moments like having to go to service learning when I didn't feel good, but thats the only time I didn't want to be in service learning. The only reason why I enjoyed service learning is because I had a teacher that I enjoy being around. Mr. Romero taught me alot of fun interesting facts about how to provide myself with information about getting resources and facts about NHD. Also I learned that when you have fun with activities such as filming documentries and etc. you learn more, and or it processes in teenage minds better.

SYMBOLS
Lennie’s Puppy
Lennie’s puppy is one of several symbols that represent the victory of the strong over the weak.
Lennie kills the puppy accidentally, as he has killed many mice before, by virtue of his failure to recognize his own strength.
Candy’s Dog
The farm that George constantly describes to Lennie, those few acres of land on which they will grow their own food and tend their own livestock, is one of the most powerful symbols in the book.
Candy is immediately drawn in by the dream, and even the cynical Crooks hopes that Lennie and George will let him live there too.
Candy’s dog represents anyone who has outlived his or her purpose. Candy’s attachment to the animal—his plea that Carlson let the dog live for no other reason than that Candy raised it from a puppy—means nothing at all on the ranch. Although Carlson promises to kill the dog painlessly, his insistence that the old animal must die supports a cruel natural law that the strong will dispose of the weak. Candy internalizes this lesson, for he fears that he himself is nearing an age when he will no longer be useful at the ranch, and therefore no longer welcom

ABOUT INDEPENDENT SERVICE LEARNING
What I learned from independent service is that when you give to your community to feel better about yourself and the people you helped. I also learned that you will get something back in return even when your not looking forward to your reward someone always notice your outstanding work or achievement.
INDEPENDENT SERVICE LEARNING HOURS
The independent hours that I did was at the boat race with Ballard Spharr Law Office. I did 8 hours with that. Also I did service learning hours at Evolve Spa. The service learning hours that I did helped out my community by showing my peers my age kindness and generosity.

Service Learning Reflection APRIL 21- MAY 2
Mr. Romero group was successful because we finished our movie. Also we are doing another movie outside when it get warmer outside. Mr. Romero group is the perfect group to be in because you learn, have fun, and you will enjoy being around the environment with Mr. Romero and the group that he have.
The challenges that I had was filming the movie, but there is a good side to that because when you are finished the movie you will feel proud of yourself that you accomplished your goal.
The role that I will play is to act out the bad person that shows the worst student. Also I will write down all the things that will be done by the future students that repeat history. What I mean about that is that I am positive that the students will do what we did because the 9th graders did it.
