Interpretive: While doing volnteer work at Samaritan Counseling Center, I learned many things. I learned two different "most important" things. The first one being that I learned about how it feels to work in real life. I learned that you aren't always going to do things that you want to do. You're going to do things that you do not really feel like doing or you don't want to do. You are also going to work with people you wouldn't normally want to work with but you still have to do it. I also learned that my best answer for my EQ makes sense. 

Applied: While I was going to service learning, I noticed that they only used one type of therapy with children. They used play therapy, I wondered about this for a very long time. When I finally asked them, they told me that it was one of the most effective forms of treatment. It worked very well, because it is one of the ways in which children feel the most comfortable and that is one huge factor in if the therapy is successful or not. I think that being around play therapy so much made me biased for it, but it worked. Not only did personal experience with it show me that it was the most effective form to treat an abused child but so did a lot of my research. So, all in all, service learning helped me find my best answer.
