A Valuable Experience by Wanseop Kim

Taking the AASL program was a valuable memory for me. Before taking this program I just wanted to have new experiences in San Diego through volunteering. While volunteering, however, I could get a great sense of achievement from the fact that I could please someone with my small acts.

For example, I volunteered for Kitchens for Good. I helped to make lunch boxes for children every Monday. It was not that hard. I cut some vegetables, peeled fruit, and made fruit salads. Although it was easy, when I saw a picture of a kid laughing while eating the lunch box, I was really happy. I knew this is the reason why volunteering is important for our society.

Moreover, not only volunteering, but also watching videos, discussing questions, and reading articles in class was really helpful for me. Especially the video about leaders and followers was impressive. After watching the video, I could understand the crucial role of the first follower in order to make a lone leader into a real leader.

In conclusion, because of the AASL program I could feel a great sense of fulfilment this session, so if you want to make unforgettable memories you should take this program.
