"St. Vincent de Paul"
Well, at first when we where going to St. Vincent de Paul I didn’t know where we where going, my job was to serve food, I think I did great, what I could did better is serve the food better, not doing a mess, I feel successful in volunteering because I did almost everything right.
I think my behavior on the trip was good, I think you should act mature when you are volunteering, it wasn’t hard to behave in an appropriate behavior, I will behave the same way on the next trip. I don’t really know because I didn’t go to the museum but I guess the same behavior, act mature.
I think this it’s a good place for people that its needed and also to help homeless stand “up and keep walking (get a life)”, I also agree on this place because they have showers and a lot of stuff to help people that want to succeed. My suggestion its to go again.

While at St. Vincent De Paul, I was in the children area. I liked this area a lot better because it is much quieter and held less people. I expected kids running everywhere. I believe I did a pretty good job. The people are much friendlier than the other side. My job was to put French fries on the plates. I was in a group with Hipolito, Diego, and Jordache.
I behaved pretty well. I was mainly focused on the people’s orders. I don’t like making people angry especially if I do not know them. Its actually easy to behave well in there because everyone is so polite and thankful.
The next time we feed the less fortunate I would like to work in the smaller area. I liked that area because it is so quiet. I learned that it isn’t so scary working with people.

This time that we were going to St. Vincent De Paul I actually enjoyed more than most of the time that we go. I expected to have lots of people to serve and be tired from standing up for so long. My job was to serve kids on the other side of the church. I actually enjoyed this time the best, the workers there are very nice and I like going to that side other then the other side where I get really tired, since there are a lot of people who come in. I think that I did a good job, I was polite and didn’t make any rude comments, or behave bad. I feel very successful when we go volunteer, because it gives us a chance do something that we normally wouldn’t do on our own. I think that we should all be on our best behavior when we are volunteering. Especially because we go somewhere where we are volunteering, and the people there don’t really know us. So it is go to behave right and remember to keep unnecessary comments to ourselves. We should also remember to treat others like we would want to be treated. I don’t think it is hard to behave in a well manner, because we are there to volunteer not to fool around and make stupid comments, that we well know if someone where to say that to you, you wouldn’t like it. I think that every time we are somewhere other than with our friends or family, we should always be on our best behavior, because it is not our home where we can do whatever we want. I really enjoyed this time that I went to St. Vincent De Paul and hopefully next time I can work on the other side as well, where you feed the kids. I makes me said to see them there but its makes me feel good that we are setting a good example for them as volunteering.

*St.vincent de paul.
*When we arrived at St. vincent de paul i expected to see crazy people always trying to steal and yell. M yjob there was to serve the children milk and there fruit. i think i did some what of a good job, it wasnt that difficult that i could not do it. i feel that i did a successful thing and it felt good.
My behavior while being there was apropiate, when one volenteers they should always be polite and keep there rude or unapropiate comments to themselves. It was not a hard task being on my best behavior. If i was to go again i would still have the best behavior. The difference about the museum and st.vincent is that in the museum your dealing with just pictures and statues. while on the other hand your dealing wtih people at st.vincent de paul and those are people that need help and need to be respected.
In conclusion i thought that going there was a great experiance. i have never been one to think that i would go bu when i went i think that this is was a good experiance.

- I am already familiar with St. Vincent de Paul so I already know what to expect from it. Like the smells the looks and the controversial people. My job was to pick up the used trays and take them to were they wash them. I also had to help disabled people. I think that I did do well but at the end a lady was doing the same thing as me but she was very active. She was getting all the trays and I would ask her that I could take them and she would be like no. I think that she probably was under the influence because she was very active. Because of that I don’t really feel successful in my work but I don’t know.
- I feel that my behavior was very good. I did what I was supposed to and did as much as I could to help out. The only thing that was wrong yesterday was the misunderstanding that happened. But like I said I wasn’t even talking about them and I didn’t even say anything inappropriate to anyone. So for that I feel that I did behave and I didn’t do anything wrong. But next time I will watch what I say in public.
- In conclusion I don’t really enjoy our visits but I need to community service hours so too bad. One thing that I learned is that there are a lot of nosy people.

Before going to feed the homeless I thought I wasn’t going to enjoy myself. I woke up that morning not feeling good and I expected my day to go bad. But I was very wrong, as soon as we got to the shelter I was already laughing. I was partnered up with Jose in the back of the kitchen assigned to make pies. Jose and I were put to open up pies and put them on trays to be cooked for Thanksgiving Day. Although I was enjoying myself, I was still behaving like a mature adult. Jose and I did a great job and we impressed them so much that we had a chance to eat before anyone else in our school did. :]] I think the only thing I could have done better is have a positive attitude before going. Because, even though I was sick, I still ended up having a good time. But the group I was eating with afterwards got in trouble right before leaving the shelter. It was a misunderstood comment that one of the homeless people took offensively. And most importantly, it was misunderstood to have been sexual harassment. The person who said the remark automatically admitted his fault but tried getting our teachers to see his point of view. It didn’t work and now he is being punished with not being allowed to join the class on field trips from now on. Besides that, I did behave myself, enjoyed myself, and did my job well. I hope to go again because the feeling I get after helping serve these homeless people is amazing. “ awww ;] ”

When I went to ST. Vincent de Paul I thought it was going to be boring but it was okay. I had to serve hot dogs to the people. I was doing well serving dogs. I think that I did a good job and I would not do anything different. I feel successful because I volunteered and I served food. I was well behaved and next time I go I will behave the same. I thought it was a good experience.

Going to ST. Vincent DePaul was a spectacular experience with more than I could have ever expected. My job was as soup server in the line of students serving meals I feel that I did accomplish my job fairly well with a frequent amount of people returning to ask for more soup. Either by my hand or that of a very good soup I feel that I accomplished what I wanted to do, to help somebody.
My behavior is always good I do not know how more I can change except for trying to do more to interact with people. (stop asking this question)
I do have one comment, the student arrangement was one sided leaving you with the most disruptive students class you should separate them not put them in the same place. I learned how to serve soup faster than ever before.

Yesterday my trip to St. Vincent De Paul was very interesting. My expectations before going were to be ready to serve the people. It was a very significant thing of our school to go do. My job was to serve the food. The food I was serving was the dogs for the hot dogs.
My behavior at the St. Vincent De Paul was good. I think that I did a good job serving the food and doing my job. I think my behavior could have been a little bit better if I would of greeted the people by saying hi. Next time I go to the St. Vincent De Paul I will try to be more greedily. Behaviors at the museum are no different from this one because I have to act appropriate for both.
I think that going to volunteer and help the lass fortunate is a very nice thing to do. I believe that when you help others you receive something in return. I think its good to volunteer not just for myself in how I will feel after I do the work but it will also help me out in my school. I have all my community service hours done but it feels good to just do it for fun. That’s what I think and feel about going to St. Vincent De Paul.

My experience at St. Vince de Paul was good. I have been there before. I had to pick up the trays people had already used and put them away so that a man could wash them. I liked what I was doing but then this female was doing all the work really fast and she would take the trays away from me. She looked kind of mean, but other than that I think that I did a pretty good job. I feel like I did something good and I people appreciated what I was doing because they kept telling me how grateful they were that we were volunteering. I think that I always behave so my behavior was good. I always act the same when we go on any field trips I can behave. It was not hard to behave because I am not a child I should know how to behave. I liked volunteering. It is very fulfilling. I think that we should do it more often.
