Volunteering at goodwill this semester was a great experience. This volunteer opportunity was through the DSWS day of service and lasted about five hours. This means that all of the volunteers that were with us at goodwill were fellow DSWS students. When we go there, one of 
the employees explained our tasks and goals for the day. After we finished with the service we had, organized much of the clothes in the store by sizing and color tags we re-arranged shoes so that they were neat and in pairs. While volunteering I learned to be appreciative for what I was given in life and this has impacted me as a leader because it has helped me become more compassionate toward those around me. Because of this service learning, I am, more thankful for the things that I have.
