About the Author

Hello, I am Shanzida T. and this is my Service-Learning presentation for my LDR course: LDR 3905 - Directed Independent Study: Section: 0W60, Leadership Lab Foundations. I would like to thank Monal Patel who is the GTA for helping me as well as my professor Virginia Koch.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

Reflecting on my service-learning experience, I recognize that I used to judge first-generation immigrants who struggled with English. Over time, I realized this was unfair, as I hadn’t considered their individual challenges. This shift in perspective led me to become more open-minded, seek new experiences, and pursue my passion for helping others through direct patient care. I realized that engaging in leadership-based service learning could enhance my empathy and leadership abilities, which has become central to my personal and professional growth.
