I went to Jamaica and volunteered at the Manning’s Hill Primary School. While there, I was able to work with students in a variety of grades and ages. I enjoyed teaching them about our culture but I believe I learned more from them than I could ever teach them. One trait that I saw in the children at the school was selflessness. Here’s an example of this. One day during their snack break I was working in the fourth grade class and the students were all taking their break. As I sat there just trying to relax one student came up and offered me some of his snack. Shortly after that, I had five to ten more students all coming over to me and offering me their snacks. I even had one student who went and purchased a bagged juice. It was a simple act of kindness but it showed how these children who do not have much truly care about others and are willing to give all they can. These students as young as five have learned the value of sharing and taking care of others.
