My service is arguably one of my most gratifying CAS experiences. Every week I am able to have a positive impact on someone’s life. The best thing about my service is the relationships that we develop with our partners. Having worked with Ng Hung Khim every week I feel like I know him quite well and it is nice to see our relationship grow. Like my Activity and Creativity components of season 3, Service was also put to a stop due to COVID 19, although this was the case, we did have some fair warning. Because of this, we were able to record a plethora of video tutorials a put them in a drive folder. The partners could access them and view them, I think it may even be more helpful because with a video you could rewatch it if you didn’t understand something in particular.
We would opt for google hangouts or zoom but for the likes of our partners, we decided that it would be more efficient to make video tutorials and they could view them at their own will.
I think this service has taught me that something we take for granted may not be so easy for someone else to grasp, this issue can be adapted to a global scale quite easily in the sense that you should appreciate what you have and help those who don’t have it. Int his case its the skill of using technology. Clearly a very important skill in the 21st century.
In addition to this, I think having done this for nearly a whole academic year,, my actions have certainly had some impact on the members of the care home and that my and my service’s actions have not gone unnoticed.
