During
our Challenge Based Learning (CBL) time first semester I went to Heartland
Family Services with a few other students from the academy. Our job as volunteers was to sort clothing
and other household items into piles of stuff to keep and move on to a few
other places. If stuff was in the keep
pile, we would put the supplies out on the floor. However, due to a lack of room and tubs to
put clothes in, I often had to make room and find new locations for excesses of
clothes that came in as donations. This
fits the 21st Century Skill of
Success of Critical thinkers and
problem solvers assess the situation, gather important information and develop
relevant, effective alternatives to reach a solution or decision. I had to
take the information around me and create new methods of storage for areas like
men’s clothing. I spent
an hour redesigning the section to better fit the needs of Heartland Family
Services. This example shows that I am a
critical thinker who can use the situations around me and put it into an action
that is relevant and effective.
