Description
Through the interaction of multiple relationships, it is relevant to reflect on the differences that ones bring to the table. UWM and its partnership with CBI (community-based internship) has allowed the engagement of students into the communities to see the roots of what is happening there. Through the placement of myself into the non-profit organization of PeppNation I am actively engaged in the MPS system (Milwaukee public schools). Through this placement I was able to reflect on my time there and how over time I watched my identity shift. Receiving a massive influx of diversity and a new cultural setting allowed for the reflection on how different communities engage with one another. Specially I am here to reflect on how my identity was shifted through the interaction of children who were different than I. Through personal experience stories you will be able to understand how I came to this end goal concept. I want to understand how my service learning experience influenced my cultural competence along with how this experience is impacting me long term rather than short. Service learning is something that affects everyone differently but if given the right effort can produce extraordinary stories.
