I didn’t have any expectations because I’ve been there about 22 times and all the times were the same. I did pretty well I think. The only thing that I think I could have done better was thinking quicker about pouring the juice in the big juice things. I felt very successful because after doing something like helping out homeless people at a shelter you feel good afterwards.
You should act mature. It is not hard to behave in an appropriate way. I sill behave the same way I did on this field trip because I thought I acted o.k. your behavior at st. Vincent De Paul should act way more mature because the people you are helping say bless you and other nice stuff. I didn’t notice anyone on the field trip that acted in bad behavior.
The only thing I probably learned is that the only person I saw that actually looked homeless was locked outside for some reason. Then they gave him a bag of food like a dog. What kind of place does that? what does that tell you?

My expectations before going were that we weren't actually going to serve them I thought we were just going to help out in the kitchen. My job was to serve rice on to every tray that people ate. I did very well at my job. One thing I could have done better was had my section clean because I kept on dropping rice on the side of the trays. I actually feel successful in my volunteering.
My behavior was excellent like it always is. When you are volunteering you should act like an adult and all ways have a smile on your face. To me it was not hard to act appropriate because I always act like appropriate. Next time I would behave the same just with a little bit more of a smile. When we go to St Vincent De Paul are behaviors better because no one gets board everyone is working or doing something. When we were there peoples behaviors are of all different sorts some are very nice some are just rude and some are just quite.
I think we should do that more often. I had a pretty good day after I helped the poor. One thing I learned from this experience is that everyone in this world needs to get feed to no matter at what extant.

My expectations before going to St. Vincent de Paul were that it was going to be more dirty there and that the bum’s were going to be more rude then they were. My job was serving the salsa. I did well I did not let the bums punk me for all the salsa that they wanted. There was nothing that I could have done differently or better. I guess I feel success in volunteering because I got some community service that I needed.
My behavior at St. Vincent de Paul was good. When you are volunteering you should act good. It was not hard to behave in an appropriate behavior. Next time I will behave the same as I did this time. I don’t think that there was a difference in our behavior from when we go to St. Vincent de Paul then when we go on other field trips. The type of behavior that I saw in the people there are that most of them were rude and some of them were nice.
My final thoughts are that I think that it was cool to go and volunteer time to go and feed the homeless. My suggestions are that when you volunteer there try to ignore what the homeless people say to you. What I learned from this experience is that homeless people can be rude or nice.

My expectations before going to St. Vincent De Paul was to go and volunteer. When we got to the St. Vincent De Paul I was ready to volunteer. I experienced that it must suck to be a homeless person. I hope I won’t ever have to experience nothing like the things most of the people have to go thru. I started off as putting cheese on the plates. I ended up putting beans on the trays. I believe that it was a very good experience and we should keep doing it more often.
When we go on a fieldtrip I believe that we be on our best behavior. If we aren’t on our best behavior it is going to be very rare when we do go on fieldtrips. To me it was not hard at all to act on my best behavior I am a person who was taught to act appropriate where ever I go. I believe that everyone that went on the fieldtrip that was in my group did a very good job in behavior wise. I believe that the group that I was in can behave very good with no complains from the place we are visiting. Next time I will behave the same I did on the fieldtrip good and on my best behavior.
I have nothing else to say except that I’m glad we went to go volunteer. It felt really good to know we helped out so many people. We probably even saved lives.
