What did we do?My friends and I went to make poppy flowers for the veteran. We went at 10 am and stayed until 3 pm. However, we brought more materials to make more flowers at home. So we got a total of 14 hours. I used to think that these flowers are easy to make and coming to this place made me felt differently. I realized that there are steps in order to make the perfect poppy flowers and that these steps have to be done exactly right otherwise these flowers could not be sold. These flowers are made professional, but sold cheaply which I felt that it should be sold in a more valuable price. Most of the flowers are made by the wife of the veterans which I felt that it was very touching that these people worked hard in order to help their husbands and other veterans. One flower of poppy is made with a lot of effort and hopes, but people just handle it carelessly. It made me acknowledge how these people in the organization worked so hard in order to help the veteran which are people who sacrifice themselves to help the society. It made me realized that people should help contribute more to these people. ReflectionIn this community service, I’ve learned how to make “perfect” poppy flowers. I was able to make the poppy flower step by step. The people from the organization taught me how to specialize each steps and taught me what made the flowers from the organization differ from other normal flowers. Besides that, I’ve learned that the soldiers sacrificed so much for us, yet the people ignored that fact. I think that the society should play more role in helping these people and support the organization. How is this related to ESLO?I think that this community service is related to Strategic Learners. In which clause a stated that “Recognize what is important to know and understand.” This community service made me recognize the importance of this organization and understand why this organization has to be established. I’ve learned how hard it is for the veteran and their family to support themselves. At first, I never thought that the poppy flowers were necessary and I don’t even understand why people have to buy them. After helping this organization, I understood why there is a need in helping these people.
