My thoughts about the experience were loosely connected and didn&#8217;t seem to lead to a point. Writing them down helped me to understand what I learned, and what this service-learning experience meant to me.<\/p>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ldrew006-engl211c\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17571\/2019\/12\/Service-Through-Music-Short-Essay-2.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\"  data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">Service-Through-Music-Short-Essay-2<br\/><\/a>\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Short Essay 3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While this essay isn&#8217;t something I&#8217;ll use for my major or career, it&#8217;s extremely useful to me personally. I&#8217;m involved in disability advocacy, and because most of the information in this essay isn&#8217;t common knowledge, conducting this research was useful to educate both myself and potentially others on this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The social model is something I feel strongly about, and I think you can hear the passion in the way I wrote. I could have written for pages on the neurodiversity movement, Deaf culture, and intersectionality, but it wasn&#8217;t something that I could have fit into a &#8220;short essay.&#8221; Still, I&#8217;d like to do more research and writing on this in the future, whether or not it&#8217;s for a class.<\/p>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ldrew006-engl211c\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17571\/2019\/12\/The-Disability-Rights-Movement-in-the-United-States-Short-Essay-3.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\"  data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">The-Disability-Rights-Movement-in-the-United-States-Short-Essay-3<br\/><\/a>\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Short Essay 1 I enjoyed writing this the most out of all of the pieces I&#8217;ve done for this class.
