My Observation Of Abnormal Psychology

1. What were your expectations before you started this organization (physical characteristics, neighborhood, personnel, individuals you served, ect.?)

My expectations before starting are high, I’m going to get job training in administration which is going to help me with future jobs. The neighborhood s in a very nice place. There’s a park right next door, which brings a lot of parents who want to know more about the organization. The people who have helped me so far are nice and respectful, I feel comfortable working alongside them. The director of the organization always asks how I’m doing and checks up on me to see if I have any questions. Along with the activity coordinator, she also checks up on me and makes me feel welcomed.

2. Use

Thinking relates to my experience since I have to file papers in a certain way, allowing me to be able to categorize it and put them together how they should be in alphabetical or numerical order. Also, I had to come up with ways to memorize certain information to later on explain it to parents or kids in the simplest form.

• Learning: A relatively permanent change in behavior brought by experience.

The kids would also ask me what kind of activities they would get to do and I would explain it to them.

• Short-Term memory: Memory that holds information for 15 to 25 seconds.
This applies to my experience by I memorize names and numbers to put categorize them together, but I don’t remember them an hour later. I would also memorize events and activities that would be happening on a weekend for parents who came in to find out and would later forget it when I came

What knowledge and skills have you learned or developed as a result of doing this Service Learning Project?
I have learned to be punctual. I would call their office and ask if they needed my help that day, I would be told if I could make it at a certain hour and I would always say I’m available. I would make sure I’d be there 5 to 10 minutes before. I also learned to speak to strangers without being nervous, the nicest parents would come up to me and ask me about my day before making me tell them about the organization. This made me feel comfortable talking to them and also encouraged me to try my best and answer all the questions they had.

6. Select two United Nations human rights articles that are related to the individuals you served. Write the number and the articles of two human rights.

I selected number 23, Worker’s Right, which is every grown-up has the right to do a job, to a fair wage for their work and to join a trade union. I also selected number 2, don’t discriminate, which is the rights that belong to everybody, whatever our
